Table 1. Top row: Comparison between rms values of the head to tail electric organ discharge as measured in the same tank (45×26×4) at the same water conductivity and temperature.
G. omari (N = 10, length between 11.6 and 22.5 cm) | G. carapo (N = 6, length between 20.6 and 29.8 cm) | G. coropinae (N = 12, length between 9.9 and 15.3 cm) | ||||
Median | IQR | Median | IQR | Median | IQR | |
rms value (mV/cm) | 40.28 | 37.56 | 22.92 | 4.7 | 2.59 | 1.4 |
normalized rms (mV/cm3) | 0.15 | 0.08 | 0.051 | 0.013 | 0.018 | 0.005 |
Bottom row: the same individual values were normalized by the square of the fish's length according to the findings of Pereira et al [18]. Columns: median and interquartile range for each species. All these fish were recorded between 10 to 20 days after capture.
