Electric organs in fish serve primarily for navigation, communication, predation, and defense. These specialized organs are modified muscle or nerve tissues that can generate electric fields. The ability to produce electric discharges varies widely among species, ranging from weak electric fields used for sensing the environment to strong discharges capable of stunning prey or deterring predators. In weakly electric fish, such as the elephantnose fish (*Gnathonemus petersii*) and the knifefish (*Apteronotus spp.*), electric organs generate low-voltage discharges that function as an electrolocation system.
