In biology, the electric organ is an organ that an electric fish uses to create an electric field. Electric organs are derived from modified muscle or in some cases nerve tissue , called electrocytes, and have evolved at least six times among the elasmobranchs and teleosts .
Crab sign on Tamashiro Market. Tamashiro Market is a family-run seafood market located in Downtown Honolulu on North King Street for over 60 years. [1] It was founded by Walter Tamashiro after a tsumani hit Hilo in 1946, where the Tamashiro family previously lived. Fresh fish sales are 75 percent of the market's business. [2]

It is the sole large-scale auction for tuna west of Tokyo, Japan, and its operations are based on the same system used at the former Tsukiji Market Auction in Tokyo. [1]
The main organ is the first electric organ to develop, followed by Sachs' organ and then Hunter's organ. All the electric organs are differentiated by the time the body reaches a length of 23 cm (9.1 in). Electric eels are able to produce electrical discharges when they are as small as 7 cm (2.8 in).

Knollenorgans are sensitive to electrical stimuli at frequences between 20 hertz and 20 kilohertz, with electric fields as small as 0.1 millivolt per centimetre. They are used to detect the weak electric organ discharges of other electric fish, usually of their own species. [2] [3] [4] [5]
Nov. 7—The velocity of a roughly two-year slowdown for Oahu home sales eased in October, and the median price paid for single-family houses ticked up to break a 10-month string of year-over-year ...
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 ...
