Неслучайный выбор партнера по размножению играет важную роль как в процессах видообразования, так и в жизненной стратегии конкретной особи. Один из ключевых критериев выбора – размер тела. У рыб известны различные типы размерной избирательности партнеров, однако исследован этот компонент репродуктивной стратегии только у небольшого числа видов. Несмотря на широкое распространение и известность рыбыползуна (Anabas testudineus), опубликовано лишь несколько описаний его нереста, причем только в неволе и в большинстве случаев – искусственно стимулированного с помощью гормональных препаратов. В данной работе описаны основные особенности естественного нереста ползуна в аквариумных условиях в сравнении с индуцированным нерестом. Выявлена положительная размерная ассортативность при первоначальном выборе самкой анабаса партнера по размножению, а также показано, что брачная система этих рыб характеризуется пластичностью, варьируя от предположительной моногамии до полигамии. Полученные результаты обсуждаются в контексте общей проблемы адекватности методов исследования поведения рыб.

Non-random mating plays a key role in speciation and impacts the individual life history. Body size is one of the most important traits by which the mate choice is carried out. Various patterns of body size preference are known in fish, but this component of reproductive strategy has been studied in a limited number of species. Although the climbing perch (Anabas testudineus) is widespread and well-known, few descriptions of its spawning have been published, only in captivity and in most cases artificially induced with hormonal agents. This paper describes the main features of natural spawning of the climbing perch in aquarium compared to induced spawning. A positive size-assortative mating has been revealed. The mating system of these fish has been shown to be flexible, presumably ranging from monogamy to polygamy. The results are discussed in the context of the general issue of the adequacy of fish behaviour research methods.
