Night-Shocker: Predatory Behavior of the Pacific Electric Ray (Torpedo californica).

Abstract

Diving observations off Santa Barbara, California, indicate that Pacific electric rays (Torpedo californica) enter inshore reefs at night and actively prey on fish with the aid of powerful electric discharges.
