Abstract
Abstract The effect of cyanide on the electric organ activity of two species of the tropical monnyrid fish, Gnathonemus petersi and Gnathonemus tamanduá have been examined. Significant responses in the mean electric organ discharge rate (EOD) are measured following the introduction of cyanide at a concentration of 25μg l−1. This corresponds with an increase in the variance. There is also a significant response detected at a concentration of 5μg l−1 but in this case the time to react is increased.
