Jamming avoidance response Article Talk A The jamming avoidance response is a behavior of some species of weakly electric fish. It occurs when two electric fish with wave discharges meet - if their dischargefrequencies are very similar, each fish shifts its discharge frequency to increase the difference between the two. By doing this, both fish prevent jamming of their sense of electroreception. higher frequency 407 Hz 401Hz 399 Hz M~ 393 Hz lower frequency Two neighboring Eigenmannia perform the jamming avoidance response: When two fish with around the same frequency meet one fish shifts its frequency upward and the other shifts its frequency downward.
