On the Nature of Electrosensing in the Fish,

Abstract

An evaluative review of the electrosensing literature on fish was carried out with the intention of determining the nature of the electrosensing mechanism and its sensitivity. The biological data base was useful in the development of a mathematical model and a mathematical analyses of the sense mechanism and its function. In the course of the analyses, a working hypothesis is suggested on the nature of the sense mechanism. The function of the mathematical model developed for the sensor was explored with the use of a computer. The fishes' function at the system level was also considered and possible mechanisms defined.
