Abstract

The aggressive behaviour and the color patterns of juvenile and adult jaguar guapote are described. In five different sibling groups in conditions if intensive culture the ontogeny of aggression is analyzed by the sequential appearance of the various aggressive displays and by the changes in aggressive motivation until the age of 40 weeks.

A high correlation between some color patterns and the hierarchical position of the fishes is demonstrated. The growth parameters of the observed groups are quantified and the variability  of growth related to the consequences of enhanced competition in high density culture.
