The detection by an aquatic animal of electric fields or currents.
电感受（水生动物对电流或电场的感应）
Example sentencesExamples
- It has been proposed that the nasal tentacles of the starnosed mole Condylura cristata might be used for a form of electroreception underwater, although this has been disputed.
- Also given are some mechanisms of sensation, for which we have no experience: infrared vision, electroreception, and vibration detection by lateral line organs.
- The paddlefish uses its electrosense for detecting planktonic food, a novel adaptation of passive electroreception based on an extensive array of ampullary receptors on its head and elongated rostrum.
- It is the electroreception system that allows them to navigate through the muddy dark waters they dwell in.
- Muscle contractions also produce little surges of electrical activity that a shark can detect using electroreception.
- According to Moller, the rays do not use vision for hunting in this mode, but rely on pressure and electroreception alone.
- Finally, the remaining sensory system - one that is unique to sharks - is electroreception.

Derivatives

electroreceptor

noun

Electroreceptor cells have been extensively studied in a variety of species.
Example sentencesExamples
