ABSTRACT
The frequency of electric organ discharges (EOD) of a gymnotiform fish of "pulse" frequency (40-100 Hz) from South America - Ramphicthys rostratuswas studied. The animals were settled in pairs in a aquarium and thus observed variation in EOD frequency had at least two components one more positively correlated with temperature, another less positively correlated due to social interaction.
RESUMO
A frequência de descargas do órgão elétrico {DOE) de um peixe gymnotiforme de freqüência "em pulso" (40-100 Hz) da América do Sul - Rhamphicthys rostratus - foi estudada. Os animais foram colocados aos pares em aquários e depois observados variação da freqüência do DOE tinha sido menor duas componentes uma mais positivamente correlacionada devido a interação social.
