which are described in the following chapter. Electrosensory systems can
function in communication between fish. Some strongly electric fish also
have weakly electric organs.
Strongly electric fish must have been known to primitive man, and
Torpedos are said to have been used by the Romans in a primitive, and
probably subconvulsant, form of shock therapy ( Kellaway, 1946). Recognition that the discharge was electric came soon after the development
of the Leyden jar allowed widespread study of electricity by scientists
