Electric fishes: How electric eel predators and their prey avoid detection

Research output: Contribution to journal › Comment/debate › peer-review

Abstract

Electric fishes rely on electrosensory signals to sense their world in complete darkness. These signals, however, are conspicuous to nearby fishes. A recent study shows how predatory electric eels and their weakly electric prey pause electrogenesis to avoid detection.
