Which acoustic deception strategy occurs with banded killifish?

💡 Explanation

Dishonest signaling occurs because a smaller fish employs acoustic exaggeration during contests using size assessment; this increases perceived size for resource defense rather than accurate signaling because accurate signalling would reveal vulnerability. Therefore, smaller fish gain advantage.
