In this film, the most important mating movements of the female Tilapia nilotica have been caught. There are no lasting conjugal ties between the male and female of this species; they come together only to spawn and separate again thereafter. Certain colourings and movements facilitate, or first make possible, mutual recognition of the sexual partner.
