  • Apparatus for controlling aquatic creatures
    Patent number: 6837182
    Abstract: The present invention provides an apparatus for controlling aquatic creatures in a body of water. The apparatus comprises a power supply, a solar conversion system, two electrodes, a controllable switch unit and a control system. In operation, this apparatus generates electromagnetic emissions that are perceivable by a number of aquatic creatures thereby providing an ability to control the behaviour of these aquatic creatures, for example, attraction or repulsion thereof. The power supply provides the necessary energy and electric voltage level for the apparatus to operate and the solar conversion system provides a means for recharging and/or maintaining a sufficient energy level within the power supply. A controllable switch unit is interconnected to the two electrodes and enables the selective application of energy provided by the power supply, thereby providing for the generation of electromagnetic emissions.
