A third study wanted to compare hatchery raised fish tolerance to copper versus naturally-reared fish to see if there is a plausible difference between the two species and their tolerance to copper levels in their system. They exposed naturally-reared steelhead (Oncorhynchus mykiss) to 5 and 20 μg/L for 3 hours. Based on their EOG readings the ...
The abilities of the electric fish to communicate and identify sex, age, and hierarchy within the species are also made possible through electric fields. EF gradients as low as 5nV/cm can be found in some saltwater weakly electric fish. [27] Several basal bony fishes, including the paddlefish (Polyodon spathula), possess electroreceptors.
Active electrolocation is practised by two groups of weakly electric fish, the Gymnotiformes (knifefishes) and the Mormyridae (elephantfishes), and by Gymnarchus niloticus, the African knifefish. An electric fish generates an electric field using an electric organ, modified from muscles in its tail. The field is called weak if it is only enough ...
These fibres signal the size of the detected electric field to the fish's brain. [14] The ampulla contains large conductance calcium-activated potassium channels (BK channels). Sharks are much more sensitive to electric fields than electroreceptive freshwater fish, and indeed than any other animal, with a threshold of sensitivity as low as 5 nV/cm.
"The whole sea and the whole port all around was full of dead fish." A drone view shows hundreds of thousands of dead fish in a stream, near the port of Volos, Greece, August 30, 2024. Flooding ...
No one likes a fishy smell, but it may actually have a positive impact on people's brains. A recent study has found that it can improve critical thinking by arousing suspicion. To test the odor's ...

The elephantnose fish is a weakly electric fish which generates an electric field with its electric organ, detects small variations in the field with its electroreceptors, and processes the detected signals in the brain to locate nearby objects. [12] Weakly electric fish generate a discharge that is typically less than one volt.
