#' Blackbream: Feeding Behavior of Black Bream Fish
#'
#' This data is from an article in \emph{Brain, Behavior and Evolution} about a
#' study of the feeding behaviour of black bream fish. A zoologists recorded the
#' number of aggressive strikes of two black bream fish feeding at the bottom of
#' an aquarium in the 10-minute period following the addition of food. The data
#' contains the weekly number of strikes and the age of the fish.
#'
#' @format A data frame with 9 observations (rows) and 3 variables (columns).
