Abstract
Four adult shooting archer fish (Toxotes jaculatrix) were studied in a captive situation. The accuracy with which they “shot” for prey and the sequences that they performed during shooting were analyzed. The animals were successful in shooting at suspended prey 25.50/0 of the time. Shooting was preceded by a series of six acts. The “typical” sequence, based on an analysis of transition probabilities was: Orient, Swim, Rotate Vertically, Shoot. Leaping out of the water and a second vertical rotation were observed also.
