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.
