🚨 New paper alert! 🚨
Have you ever caught and released a #fish and wondered what happens after? Are you interested in how body parts work together? Do you think #sunfish are special and are more than just bait? Then this one is for you!
We make the best of a bad situation and discover something new about fish form and function - fin damage from human capture doesn't decrease prey capture success, but does make kinematics less different among individuals! We suspect this can be bad for competitive ability. Effects may be stronger in populations than individuals.

Fish feel pain and many species have a relatively high level of consciousness.
