Abstract

Laboratory observations on fish reactions to different voltages and direct current pulse rates provided information on the electrical characteristics needed for inducing electrotaxis for use in a proposed automated harvesting system. Optimal electrical combinations for 12 species of coastal pelagic and bottom fishes varied according to species and length, and ranged from 1.5 to 3.0 v/10 cm at 15–45 pulses/sec with a pulse duration of 1.0 msec.
