The first studies of retinoid status in fish were published in 1992 and 1995 and showed that wild white sucker from the polluted Des Prairies River near Montreal, QC had approximately 90% less retinol and retinyl palmitate than fish from an unpolluted site19 95. Similar results were obtained for lake sturgeon (Acipenser fulvescens) from Lake St Louis, QC37, where there is a high level of PCB contamination79. 

Walsh and Cavendish had made it probable that the shock of the torpedo fish is electrical. H. Davy had confirmed this but still thought that animal electricity will be found of a distinctive and peculiar kind . J. Davy, Faraday says, had removed the doubt, but still thought that the electrical power, whether excited by the common machine, or by the voltaic battery, or by the torpedo, is not a simple power, but a combination of powers , as white light is a mixture of coloured lights. Ritchie s denial of the identity of common (i.e. frictional) and voltaic electricity , was criticised in detail by Sturgeon ... 

Catfish, carp, pike and pickerel, sturgeon, and white fish are popular freshwater fish.
