Electroreception of Capacitative and Resistive Objects in Elephantfish

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Elephantfish are weakly electric, emitting short pulses to locate their prey. Capacitative and resistive objects affect the electric field differently, enabling the fish to locate objects of different types within a distance of about a body length. Resistive objects increase the amplitude of the pulse; capacitative objects introduce distortions.
