"Electric Fish" explores the fascinating world of fish that generate electricity, highlighting their unique biological mechanisms and the potential for bio-inspired technology.
These fish use specialized cells called electrocytes to create electric fields for navigation, communication, and predation.
Understanding how these fish generate and use bioelectricity can revolutionize fields like medicine and robotics, offering new approaches to energy generation and sensory technology.

The book progresses logically, beginning with an overview of electric fish species and their discovery, then delves into the physiology and neurobiology of electric organ discharge (EOD).
It examines the ecological significance of EODs and their influence on fish behavior.
Later chapters transition to technological applications inspired by electric fish, presenting existing prototypes and future developments while also considering the ethical implications of exploiting biological knowledge.
This approach makes complex concepts accessible to a broad audience interested in life sciences and technological innovation.
