+++Electroreception+++, '''sometimes written as ''electroception,'' is the biological ability to receive and make use of electrical impulses.''' Many fish have an electroception sense, believed to be associated with the lateral line system. Sharks apparently have an electroception sense that works through receptors (like hair pores) on their snouts which allow them to sense electrical fields in the water. A problem with early submarine telegraph cables was damage caused by sharks who sensed the electrical pulses. '''[Wikipedia:Electric_eel Electric eels]''' generate high voltage electric shocks when hunting or threatened and lower voltage pulses for navigation and sensing in the turbid waters in which they live. Other gymnotiform fish also have this capability. 600 [Wikipedia:Volt volts] doesn't just tickle! Wikipedia:Monotremes are the only known mammals that possess the ability of electroception. The platypus is known to have the most acute sense. Linking numerous Wikipedia:Senses together at once is also often occuring.

The creatures, both plants and animals alike, lurking in all temperatures and landscapes of the waters, fresh, salt and brackish, are so important to look deeply at and seek to understand, they hold many keys to many doors. *[http://kenstange.com/gallery/room-017/ The Fractal Aquarium]
