Purpose and Hypothesis





Purpose:
The purpose of this experiment is to record electrical discharge and oxygen consumption of the ghost fish in the presence of another fish to determine if a correlation exists between the two characteristics.


Hypothesis:
H1 If a larger fish is brought with in 5cm of a smaller fish, the frequency of the electric field of the smaller fish will change.

H2 If a larger fish is brought with in 5cm of a smaller fish, the frequency of the electric field of the larger fish will not change.

H3 It is also believed that if the electrical frequency of the fish increases, the Metabolic rate based on oxygen consumption will also increase.

H4 It is also believed that if the electrical frequency of the fish decreases, the Metabolic rate based on oxygen
 consumption will also decrease.
