N2 - The behaviour of the tompot blenny Parablennius gattorugine was studied by underwater observation and photography on the south-west coast of the U.K. over an 11 year period, with more than 50 individuals identified at two locations by their distinctive skin markings. Observations showed males engaging in rapid swimming behaviour when approached by a female and younger males using alternative 'sneaker' tactics before becoming 'bourgeois' territory-holders. The non-invasive recognition technique also facilitated detailed observations on territory retention (up to 7 years) and agonistic behaviours among both males and females.
