A method is descrihed for the assessment of fecundity in in mormyrrd fish. In all species examined a tri-modal egg size distribution was found in the mature pre-spawning ovary. These modes represented one oocyte and two ova components. The significance of the presence of two sizes of ovum is discussed in relation to breeding periodicity in Hippopotamyrus pictus. Size and age at first maturity are estimated for this species. The probable effects of the formation of the lake on the breeding behaviour of mormyrids is discussed.

Mormyrids of the genus Mormyrops were collected from the Moa River around Tiwai Id., Sierra Leone, West Africa. Meristic analysis and comparison with paratypes identify these fish as Mormyrops curviceps Roman. They differ from M. deliciosus (Roman) in seven meristic characters: the number of lateral-line scales, caudal-peduncle scales, total vertebrae, caudal vertebrae, anal-fin rays, and teeth on the upper and lower jaws. From M. curviceps we recorded two electric organ discharge (EOD) pulse types, which were not related to developmental stage or sex. Individual EOD lasted on average either 0.471 msec (with a major head-positive phase followed by an equally large head-negativephase), or about three timeslonger (1.611msec) with reversed polarity (i.e.,a major head-negative phase), followed by a major head-positive phase. We contrast two views concerning mormyrid EOD: 1) the EOD of M. curviceps simply exists in two pulse-form morphs; and 2) characteristics of the EOD pulse-form function as a reproductive isolating mechanism, suggesting the existence of sibling species.

Different specimens of Mormyrops anguilloides (Linnaeus 1758) were reported to display electric organ discharge (EOD) pulses of either initially head-positive or initially negative polarity, a hypothetical sex difference that has not been substantiated to date. The morphology and EODs of M. anguilloides of both sexes and a sexually mature size from the Comoé and Bandama rivers, Côte d\’Ivoire, and the Lower and Middle Zambezi, Mozambique, displayed initially positive EODs. The morphologically similar M. breviceps Steindachner 1895 of both sexes and a sexually mature size from the Bandama River displayed initially head-negative EODs of biphasic waveform and long duration (0.93\–1.15 ms) in the very-low-frequency spectral range. Mormyrops anguilloides from the Comoé and Bandama rivers were differentiated in caudal peduncle depth and in EOD waveform, pulse duration and spectral energy content. The former samples displayed a biphasic, lower-frequency EOD pulse of up to 0.42 ms duration, the latter a tetraphasic, high-frequency EOD of up to 0.33 ms. It is suggested that reports of EODs of both polarities in M. anguilloides indicate the presence of an unrecognised species.
