you may have heard about electric fish,but do you know what they are really like? electric fish can be found in many areas of the world, both tropical and semi-tropical, in seas and oceans, and also in freshwater rivers and lake.electric fish are powerful and dangerous.Some kinds of them can even send their electric shock into northern oceans. However, some electric fish are not as scary as they seem. For example, if a healthy person were struck by the electric shock of a large electric eel,which can release 600 volts or more,he would not die,because the amperage from the electric eel is quite low,although its shock can be nasty.
