  • Abstract
    This paper is intended to introduce the reader to the technology of fishing with underwater electric fields, and describes the design of two high-power pulse generators used in electrofishing apparatus by the Connecticut State Fish and Game Department. Discussed are problems in the design of electrofishing apparatus, the behavior, and the physiological basis for the behavior of fish in electric fields.
