Fig. 4. Temperature sensitivity of EOD waveform. (A) Recordings of EOD waveform at
20°C (black) and after 30 min at 30°C (red) in males with high (left)
and low (right) temperature sensitivity. Fish with high temperature
sensitivity lose their negative component (P2) at 30°C whereas the
amplitude of the negative component is not different at 20° and 30°C
in fish with low temperature sensitivity. (B,C) Temperature sensitivity is
inversely correlated to gonadal stages of maturity. Stage 1,
regressing/resting; stage 2, recovering; stage 3, maturing; stage 4, mature.
TS index is high in males and females that present resting gonads and low in
fish with mature gonads (MannWhitney test, P<0.05;
n1=4, n2=4).
