-
Some fishes have evolved organs capable of generating electricity
-
Electric eel:
-
Low voltage pulses to sense their environment
-
Extremely high voltages ( $600 \mathrm{~V}$ ) to stun or kill prey
-
produce three different kinds of electrical discharges:
-
low-voltage pulses for sensing their environment;
-
short sequences of two or three millisecond, high-voltage pulses given off while hunting;
-
volleys of high-voltage, high-frequency pulses when the eel is capturing prey or defending itself
