  2. Paddlefish - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paddlefish

    A report published by J.R. Harlan and E.B. Speaker (1969) in Iowa Fish and Fishing states that the fish weighed over 198 lb (90 kg). [18] The world record paddlefish caught on rod and reel weighed 144 lb (65 kg) and was 54.25 in (1.378 m) long. The fish was caught by Clinton Boldridge in a 5 acre pond in Atchison County, Kansas on 5 May 2004.

  3. Sensory systems in fish - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sensory_systems_in_fish

    The paddlefish hunts plankton using thousands of tiny passive electroreceptors located on its extended snout, or rostrum. The paddlefish is able to detect electric fields that oscillate at 0.5–20 Hz, and large groups of plankton generate this type of signal.

  4. American paddlefish - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_paddlefish

    The age of American paddlefish is best determined by dentary studies, a process which usually occurs on fish harvested during snagging season, a popular sport fishing activity in certain parts of the U.S. The dentary is removed from the lower jawbone, cleaned of any remaining soft tissue, and cross-sectioned to expose the annual rings.

  5. Electroreception and electrogenesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electroreception_and...

    The fish emits brief pulses from its electric organ; its electroreceptors detect signals modified by the electrical properties of the objects around it. [ 1 ] For the elephantfish , the electric organ in the tail (blue) generates an electric field (cyan).

  6. Electric fish - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_fish

    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.

  8. Lateral line - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lateral_line

    Early in the evolution of fish, some of the sensory organs of the lateral line were modified to function as the electroreceptors called ampullae of Lorenzini. The lateral line system is ancient and basal to the vertebrate clade, as it is found in fishes that diverged over 400 million years ago.

  9. Ampullae of Lorenzini - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ampullae_of_Lorenzini

    Ampullae of Lorenzini (sg.: ampulla) are electroreceptors, sense organs able to detect electric fields. They form a network of mucus-filled pores in the skin of cartilaginous fish (sharks, rays, and chimaeras) and of basal bony fishes such as reedfish, [1] sturgeon, [2] and lungfish. [1]
