The Biology and Genetics of Electric Organ of Electric Fishes
Journal Title: International Journal of Zoology and Animal Biology - Year 2018, Vol 1, Issue 5
Abstract
The electric fish comprises an interesting feature called electric organ (EO) which can generate electricity. In fact, they have an electrogenic system that generates an electric field. This field is used by the fish as a carrier of electric signals for active sensing and communicating with other electric fish
