How to Measure bite force?

[Whiptooth]

I really would like to learn how to measure the bite force of some of my fish and other animals, how can this be done?

pounds per square inch ? Im sure you would need some pretty expensive equipment to do so...

I once tried to get hold of some equipment to do this and I believe it ran about $500 minimum. It's crazy expensive and most bite force sticks won't fit in a fishes mouth unless they are monsters
