saltatrix swimming

saltatrix swimming: prolonged locomotion alternating with short stops of juvenile fish having semi-opaque bodies making them inconspicuous to predators and prey. Food is taken during the short stop by a short directed strike, and area-restricted random search attempts to find more prey before prolonged locomotion resumes, e.g. Engraulidae, Clupeidae, Gadidae, Cyprinidae
