How
Does FishMAX Work?
To understand the operation of FishMAX you must understand
the four basic fish senses. Successful survival in any environment
depends upon an organism’s ability to acquire information
from its environment through its senses. Fish have some of
the same senses that we have; they can see, smell, touch,
and taste. They have also developed senses that we don’t
have; such as electro-reception. Fish can sense light, sound/vibration
and electricity.

Light:
Photo-reception (vision). Fish have a very keen sense of vision
which helps them to find food, shelter, mates and avoid predators.
Sound and Vibration (mechanoreception):
Travel four times faster in water then they do in air. In water
waves are transmitted at 5,000 feet per second.
Electricity: Electro reception. Fish have special organs
for detecting electrical potential (voltage). A set of pits
comprise the electro receptive system called the ampullae’s
of Lorenzini in Sharks. These are canals in the skin filled
with a gelatine-like material that also contains sensory cells.
