Electrical resistivity fish counters... counting fish by noting changes in the electrical resistivity of water through which they swim was pioneered by Lethlean. The basis of his approach was to apply a low voltage across two volumes of water through which the fish to be counted are constrained to pass and detect the changes in their resistances caused by the presence of the fish... This device [electrical resistivity fish counter] amplifies the "out of balance" voltage caused by the presence of fish, passes this signal through logic circuitry and activates an appropriately labelled digit meter. 1, record 8, English, - electrical%20resistivity%20fish%20counter
