Electric bait for fish at New York Aquarium
The New York Aquarium, the largest of its kind, sources tropical fish from Bermuda. To catch wary, hard-to-net species, staff employ a compact electrical device powered by a small storage battery worn beneath the operator’s arm. The device shocks to stun the fish near a concealed percussion cap on a wire tip, then reels it in without lasting harm. Bermuda fish ship to New York by steamship and show seasickness the first day aboard.
