Electric Ray |
Some species of fish can stun or kill their prey using electric shocks, including the electric ray and the electric eel.
Electric Catfish, also known as the catfish, can stun or kill their prey, or deter enemies by emitting electric currents. The organs that generate electricity are located beneath the skin, running along the length of the body and tail. A large catfish can produce an electric shock with a voltage of 350 volts.

Electric Eel |
The Electric Rays are commonly found in the sea, featuring two electric organs located on either side of their heads. They catch fish by pressing down on their prey and wrapping their fins around it, then delivering an electric shock of about 50 volts.
The species with the strongest electric current is the South American Electric Eel, which has electric organs located in its tail that can produce a voltage of 550 volts. It can kill surrounding fish and even incapacitate a horse if it comes into contact with this type of electric eel.
