Electropositive shark repellent Atlantic longlining vessels in 2008. As expected, teleosts (bony fish) are not repelled by the electropositive metal’s cation liberation in seawater. This is because teleosts lack the ampullae of Lorenzini. Teleost response was confirmed using captive Cobia ("Rachycentron canadum") and Pacific halibut ("Hippoglossus stenolepis"). In July 2008 swordfish ("Xiphias gladius") catch was reported on experimental hooks treated with electropositive metal. As with all shark repellents, 100% effectiveness will not be achieved with electropositive metals. The metals are particularly effective when the shark is relying on its electrosense. It is likely that electropositive metals are ineffective for deliberately stimulated (chummed) sharks,
Ide (fish) German "orf", through the Latin "orphus" meaning a "sea fish" or "sea perch" which in turn derives from the Greek "orphōs". The generic name "Leuciscus" is derived from the Greek word "leykiskos" which means "white mullet". There are two recognised subspecies of the ide: The ide is a rather plump, sturdily built fish with a deep body, although not especially so. The peduncle of the caudal fin is thick. When they are small ide have dark backs and silvery sides but older fish develop a golden sheen along the flanks. At all ages the eye is yellow and the pectoral
