It is argued that some features of agonistic and reproductive behaviour of this species share many functional similarities with thoes of other taxa of benthic fish, while others seem to be convergent traits typical of fishes with male parental care. The behaviour of the larvae is also describedporReproductive behaviorAgonistic behaviorLittoral fishLarval behaviourjournal article
