Electricity and fishing - a dangerous mix
Burns, 2011The advent of fishing rods made of carbon fiber and graphite rods has greatly increased the risks of electrical injuries associated with fishing. The braided fishing lines and metal hooks put the fishermen at risk for electrical injuries.We review our burn center's experience with electrical injuries related to fishing activities during the last four ...

Electrical sensitivity of a weakly electric fish
Life Sciences, 1967Abstract The South American gymnotid, Sternarchus albifrons produces a weak electric field of high frequency (600–1000 Hz) by means of a caudal electric organ (1,2). Electroreceptor organs have been found in the skin, innervated by the lateral line nerve (2,3). Electrical sensing by several other gymnotids has been studied (2,4–6).

Neurophysiology of Electric Fishing
Transactions of the American Fisheries Society, 1963Abstract An explanation of the neurophysiological mechanisms leading to the galvanotaxy of fish with direct current electrofishing was developed by observing reactions of the fish to different potential gradients and by sectioning or otherwise interfering with the nervous system at various points.

Electrical surveying by (fish)
The Leading Edge, 1993Recently I have had the privilege of working only half time and so had the opportunity to pursue other interests. I have been an active scuba diver and snorkler for decades and, as a consequence, have an interest in fish. This led to taking a course at the Steinhart Aquarium (part of the California Academy of Sciences in San Francisco’s Golden Gate ...

Electric fish handling gloves (FHGs) have been developed to immobilize fish during handling, with the potential benefit of reducing the time needed for sedation and recovery of fish relative to chemical anaesthetics.

Physics Bulletin, 1982
To most people electric fish are the 'strongly electric' species such as the South American electric eel (Electrophorus) or the electric ray (Torpedo). These fish produce powerful electric discharges for catching prey – either high voltage (300–500 V) in the case of the freshwater electric eel or low voltage (30 V), high current, pulses in the marine ...

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 ...

The effect of electric fishing on the subsequent capture of fish*
Journal of Fish Biology, 1975Experiments show that the first of a series of replicate electric fishings can cause a decrease in catchability so that the second and subsequent catches are made from what is, effectively, a reduced population. Depletion (DeLury) estimates can be thus seriously low.
