Excerpt from A Freshwater Fish Electro-Motivator (Ffem): Its Characteristics and Operation In 1966, investigations into the application of electricity in conjunction with fishing gear were undertaken by the National Marine Fisheries Service at Ann Arbor, Mich. The specific aim of these investigations was to develop an electrical apparatus for researching the application of electricity for commercial fishing of all fresh water fish stocks in the Great Lakes. In essence, this gear was to be designed for any freshwater species found in the contiguous 48 States. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
