Electric Currents
May Replace Nets
To Catch Fish
By RENNIE TAYLOR
Assocaiied Press Science Writer
LOS ANGELES, (IP) — Electric
currents some day may replace
nets as a means of catching fish,
a group of scientists report.
The idea is based on a discovery
made several years ago by Ger
man scientists. They found that
fish were attracted to the positive
terminal of a gap in an electric
circuit.
This lead has been developed
to the point where the electrical
systems now can be used to sweep
small areas of shallow water free
of fish, the experimenters told
the American Association for the
Advancement of Science.
The reports were made by Dr.
Carl L. Hubbs, Dr. Andreas B.
Rechnitzer and Dr. John D. Isaacs
of the Scripps Institute of Ocean
ography, La Jolla, Calif.
Fish under the influence of a
pulsating direct current apparent
ly lose their ability to respond
to other physical stimulants such
as light and noise, the scientists
said.
The frequencies and strength of
the currents that will be most ef
fective under given circumstances
constitute the main problem to be
worked out, the scientists reported.
One phase of this problem is
whether an ordinary sized fish
ing boat can put out enough elec
tric power to capture as many
fish as a conventional net.
