Fig. 10. Distortion of homogenous electric fields around fish in water that is less conductive (top) and more conductive
(bottom) than the fish. (Horizontal lines are current (flux) lines and vertical lines are constant-voltage (isopotential)
lines. Symbol Y = conductivity (c), E = voltage gradient, and 0 = current density (1). Reproduced from Figs. 77 and 78
in Steminet at, 1976.)
