Elasticity measurements for the interray tissues. (A) Force–deflection curves for five fish. Open symbols indicate measurements performed on intact tissues (B), whereas filled symbols show the results for surgically disrupted tissues (C). Error bars for deflection distance correspond to standard deviations (±20 µm), equally for force (±5 µN). Measurements were performed at the same positions in each fin, once between the 4th and 5th ray (B,C) and once between the 6th and 7th ray (not shown). The illustrations B₁, B₂, C₁ and C₂ represent front views. B₁ and C₁ represent the starting position, before a deflection to the left (indicated by a red arrow) stretches the interray tissue (B₂), resulting in the configurations B₂ and C₂, respectively.
