Electric Fishes

Electric fishes are a group of aquatic animals that can generate electric fields using specialized organs made of nerve and muscle tissues. These electric signals serve various purposes, such as navigation, communication, hunting prey, and defense against predators. Some species produce weak electric discharges, mostly for sensing their environment, while others generate strong shocks that can stun or deter threats. Notable examples include electric eels and electric rays. Their ability to produce and detect electric signals allows them to thrive in murky waters where visibility is limited, making electric fish fascinating adaptions in the aquatic world.
