Bite force mechanics and allometry of piranha (Serrasalmidae).

Abstract:

:The bite force of the piranha (Serrasalmidae) has drawn considerable attention due to its ability to effectively capture and masticate prey. Herein, we analyze theoretical anterior bite forces using a lever approach and compare them to in-vivo maximum bite forces. We provide a mechanics analysis that explains the scaling allometry of the bite force (Foutput) with the length of the fish (l), Foutputαl2.
