Summary: | Fishing using electricity is a newtechnique and is still in the experimentalstages in many of the advanced countries.While no published records are availablein India, considerable work has been donein Germany (Mayer Waarden, 1953, 1954a,1954b, 1955, 1957; Hattop 1957, 1958a,1958b; Kreutzer 1951, 1954; Denzer 1954,1956; Ha1sband 1955, 1956), United States(Smith 1955a, 1955b, 1955c; Halton et. a!.1954; Lennon and Parker 1958; Wathweet. a/. 1964), USSR (Shentiakov 1963;Shentiakov et. a!. 1959; Nikonorov et. a/1959; Nikoronov Ivan 1964; Badamshinet. a/. 1964), Canada (Smith and Sanders1954), Newfoundland (Murray 1958),United Kingdom (Mck-Bary 1956; Dickson1954).
