Summary

Observing the discharge-frequencies of the electrical organ ofGnathonemus petersii, it was found that there are characteristic frequencies in relation to different behaviour as: slow and fast swimming, at rest, at appetive and agressive behaviour. No such characteristic frequencies could be detected in relation to comfort movements.
