Name the fish that has an electric organ.
Solution
From a unique structure known as an electrical organ, electric fish build their electrical fields. This consists of altered muscle or nerve cells that have become specialized in generating bioelectric fields greater than those created by natural nerves or muscles.
Complete answer:
First we should know about the electric fish to answer this question. An electric fish would be any fish that is capable of generating electric fields. A fish which can emit electric fields is named electrogenic, whereas electroreceptive is the name of a fish which has the ability to sense electric fields. Many fish that are electrogenic are also electroreceptive. Forms of electric fish can be present both in the ocean and in South American freshwater rivers.
The electric eel possesses an electric organ (Electrophorus electricus). They do not have any scales. A square mouth is located at the end of the snout. The size of the body to the end of the tail is extended by the anal fin. The electric eel has three sets of electricity-producing abdominal organs: the Hunter's organ, main organ, and the Sachs organ. These organs create four fifths of the body, allowing the electric eel the capacity to develop two kinds with discharges with electric organs: high voltage and low voltage. These organs are composed of electrolytes, lined up such that a current of ions will pass through them and placed such that each one corresponds to a possible difference.
Note: The elongated, tubular body of the electric eel usually grows to around 2 m in size and 20 kg in mass, making it the biggest Gymnotiformes species. Their colour is dark grey-brown on the back and orange or yellow on the abdomen. In the belly, adult females have a darker shade.
