| It is the electroreception system that allows them to navigate through the muddy dark waters they dwell in. |
| In addition, electroreception, the ability to detect minute electrical activities, works effectively at short distances in sharks. |
| Muscle contractions also produce little surges of electrical activity that a shark can detect using electroreception. |
| According to Moller, the rays do not use vision for hunting in this mode, but rely on pressure and electroreception alone. |
| The snout is covered with electroreception organs and thus is highly sensitive. |
| In active electroreception, the animal senses its surrounding environment by generating electric fields and detecting distortions in these fields using electroreceptor organs. |
