A field observation on the influence of aggressive behaviour on mating success in the European grayling

[en] The biggest male grayling present on a spawning area was strongly territorial and developed more aggressive behaviours than smaller males. However, its spawning frequency was similar to that of smaller males. (C) 1996 The Fisheries Society of the British Isles
