The Electric Sense of Weakly Electric Fish

Annual Review of Physiology, 1984
Recent studies of electroreception have been particularly successful in three different areas: Electroreceptors are tuned to the dominant frequency of the animal's EOD, and their tuning follows natural and experimentally induced shifts in EOD frequency.

Electric Receptors in a Non-electric Fish (Clarias)

Nature, 1963
IT is now well established that certain fish can detect objects electrically. These fish have weak electric organs, and set up an electric field in the surrounding water. A nearby object distorts this field, and the distortions are detected by the fish. The electric receptors are sense organs communicating with the water by means of jellyfilled canals.

An Electrical Receptor in Fishes

Nature, 1958
CERTAIN families of fishes, namely the Mormyridae of tropical Africa and the Gymnotidae of Central and South America, possess a small electric organ which exhibits intermittent activity. Lissmann1 found that Gymnarchus niloticus Cuv., swimming freely, emitted pulses at an even rhythm of about 300 per sec.; the frequency was unaffected by the activity ...

Electric Organs, Fishes

1988
Electric organs, found in six groups of fishes (Fig. 1), are structures specialized to generate electric fields in the animals’ external environment. In some the voltages are large enough to stun prey or repel predators. These, the strongly electric fishes, include the electric eel (Electrophorus electricus) from South America, the electric catfish ...

FISH'S EXPENSIVE ELECTRIC SERENADE

Journal of Experimental Biology, 2008
It's easy to see how a deep voice or massive muscles can communicate fitness, but whether electric fish can send the same message with crackling electric discharges wasn't clear. Philip Stoddard, from Florida International University, knew that at night male Brachyhypopomus pinnicaudatus 's ...
