Abstract
THE ELECTRIC EEL, Electrophorus electricus, delivers the most powerful electric discharge of any electric fish. In addition, it breathes air and can therefore be kept out of water for long periods of time. For these reasons it has proved ideally suitable for the pursuing study of “animal” electricity.
