Definition of Term

arch
(English) Female sharks that 'avoid' males may first attempt to escape a 'pectoral grasp' by 'arching' away from the male often twisting the body and cloaca away from the male and, at times, out of the water. Accepting females may also arch toward the male. (see Ref. 51126).
