Dr K P Biswas, M.Sc., Ph. D., D.F.Sc. (Bombay), E.F. (West Germany); F.Z.S., F.A.B.S. (Kolkata) initiated the work on Electro-physiology and Electric Fishing, first in India, in 1961 at Odisha. He developed an electric seine to catch fishes from large and deep waters and reservoirs with the aid of portable AC generator and successfully caught bottom and burrow dwelling fishes, which otherwise, are difficult to catch with any other fishing gears. He determined electro-physiological constants of s
About The Book
The book envisages the use of under-water electric field for catching fish. The use of electricity for catching fish has been practiced from a long time by the fishermen of different regions, the recorded evidence of which goes to 1886, when one Mr. Isham Bagg was issued a patent in Britain for catching fish with electricity.
