The process involves a nerve impulse that causes sodium ions to flow, allowing current to flow similarly to a series circuit. Eels initially emit low-voltage signals to provoke a response from prey, followed by high-voltage bursts to immobilize them. Additionally, other fish with weaker electric organs employ electric signals for navigation and communication.
