“…Additional case of fish predation on bats involved large trouts (Salmonidae) and probably low-flying drinking bats (Murphy & Nichols 1913;Allen 1940). Although, I was not able to find any direct observations on similar hunting behaviour in other fish groups, it is very probable that it occurs also in Osteoglossidae family in which members are known as regular aerial feeders (Lowry et al 2005). Predation on bats by fishes is, however, rarer than on birds, most probably due to the fact that even bats living near water are in direct contact with water only for short time unlike birds that are capable of swimming on water surface, diving or rising their juveniles there.…”

“…Matthes, 1977;Lowry et al, 2005;Pronko et al, 2013). For feeding strikes in general, Weihs (1973) surmised that when a fish was sufficiently motivated by hunger, efficiency was secondary to short-term energy use.…”

“…The mangrove rivulus (Kryptolebias marmoratus) uses multiple kinematic modes, including jumping S-type 'launches', to travel up banks to feed on land (Pronko et al, 2013). Lowry et al (2005) revealed silver arawana (Osteoglossum bicirrhosum) jump using Sstarts similar to those executed by ambush predators (e.g. Webb, 1984;Porter and Motta, 2000) after a period of burst swimming.…”

“…Ballistic launches from the water by aquatic vertebrates have been described in numerous species [blacktip sharks (Brunnschweiler, 2005); flying fish (Davenport, 1990); silver arowana (Lowry et al, 2005); sockeye salmon (Lauritzen et al, 2005); Trinidadian guppies (Soares and Bierman, 2013)]. The larger species, including sharks and cetaceans, typically launch into the air after a period of burst swimming (Brunnschweiler, 2005;Davenport, 1990;Hester et al, 1963;Hui, 1989;Lauritzen et al, 2005), while smaller fish accelerate out of the water after at most a few tail strokes from an S-start windup (present study; Lowry et al, 2005;Soares and Bierman, 2013).…”

The launch behavior of K. marmoratus seems suited to rapidly propel the fish across a maximal distance.…”
