Fig. 2. Effect of partial pressure of oxygen on the mating behaviour
(non-competitive environment) of male eastern mosquito fish Gambusia
holbrooki acclimated to either hypoxic or normoxic conditions for at
least 6 weeks. (A) The total time males spent following females, (B) total
number of attempted copulations and (C) the total number of successful
copulations recorded during a 10 min observation period in a non-competitive
environment. Values are means ± s.e.m., N=15 for each
acclimation group. *Significant results at P<0.05.
