| With electroreception blocked, sharks usually failed to capture prey. |
| 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. |
| In active electroreception, the animal senses its surrounding environment by generating electric fields and detecting distortions in these fields using electroreceptor organs. |
| At least one species, the tucuxi or Guiana dolphin, is able to use electroreception to sense prey. |
| According to Moller, the rays do not use vision for hunting in this mode, but rely on pressure and electroreception alone. |
