摘要
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 (F-output) with the length of the fish (l), F-output alpha l(2).
