Reactions of the multiple catalyst upon the fish is immediately apparent as soon as the conditioned water propergates out to reach the fish in the area of influence. When FishMAX® is in use the reaction of attraction is verifiable by fish finders and are measured within the area of influence and the reaction is immediately apparent each and every time.

Operation

To understand the operation of FishMAX® we must understand the natural senses of the fish, there are five in number and are most basic known to man supported by Scientists in Aquatic and Marine Science World-Wide.

Successful survival in any environment depends upon an organism's ability to acquire information from its environment through its senses. Fish have many of the same senses that we have, they can see, smell, touch, feel, and taste, and they have developed some senses that we don't have, such as electro-reception Fish can sense light, chemicals, sound/vibrations and electricity.

Light: photo-reception [Vision]. Fish have a very keen sense of vision, which helps them to find food, shelter, mates, and avoid predators. Fish vision is on par with our own vision; many can see in color, and some can see in extremely dim light. Light is broken into its components when it hits the water and certain waves (colors) penetrate to different depths depending on the clarity of the water. In muddy water the color Red is best. Overall the combination of Black and Red seems to be best. (Ref: Studies by a Ph.D. in Aquatic and Marine Science from Texas A&M USA.) FishMAX® propagates a flashing Red colored spectrum.

Fish eyes are different from our own. Their lenses are perfectly spherical, which enables them to see underwater because it has a higher refractive index to help them focus. They focus by moving the lens in and out instead of stretching it like we do. They cannot dilate or contract their pupils because the lens bulges through the iris. As the depth at which fish are found increases, the resident fish's eye sizes increase in order to gather the dimmer light. This process continues until the end of the photic zone, where eye size drops off as their is no light to see with. Nocturnal fish tend to have larger eyes then diurnal fish. Just look at a squirrelfish, and you will see this to be so. Some fish have a special eye structure known as the Tapetum lucidum, which amplifies the incoming light. It is a layer of guanine crystals which glow at night. Photons which pass the retina get bounced back to be detected again. If the photons are still not absorbed, they are reflected back out of the eye. On a night dive, you may see these reflections as you shine your light around!

Chemicals: chemoreception [Smell and Taste]. Chemoreception is very well developed in the fishes, especially the sharks and eels which rely upon this to detect their prey. Fish have two nostrils on each side of their head, and there is no connection between the nostrils and the throat. The olfactory rosette is the organ that detects the chemicals. The size of the rosette is proportional to the fish's ability to smell. Some fish (such as sharks, rays, eels, and salmon) can detect chemical levels as low as 1 part per billion.

Fish also have the ability to taste. They have taste buds on their lips, tongue, and all over their mouths. Some fish, such as the goatfish or catfish, have barbells, which are whiskers that have taste structures. Goatfish can be seen digging through the sand with their barbells looking for invertebrate worms to eat and can taste them before they even reach their mouths.

Vibrations: mechanoreception [Sound and vibration]. Sound and vibration travel four times faster in water then they do in air. In water waves are transmitted at 5,000 feet per second. The present invention propagates SPW, a Sonic Pulsed Wave form by way of a transducer.

Have you ever seen a fish's ear. Probably not, but they do have them, located within their bodies as well as a lateral line system that actually lets them feel their surroundings.

Fish do not have external ears, but sound vibrations readily transmit from the water through the fish's body to its internal ears. The ears are divided into two sections, an upper section (pars superior) and a lower section (utriculus) The pars superior is divided into three semicircular canals and give the fish its sense of balance. It is fluid-filled with sensory hairs. The sensory hairs detect the rotational acceleration of the fluid. The canals are arranged so that one gives yaw, another pitch, and the last- roll. The utriculus gives the fish its ability to hear. It has two large otoliths which vibrate with the sound and stimulate surrounding hair cells.

Fish posses another sense of mechanoreception that is kind of like a cross between hearing and touch. The organ responsible for this is the neuromast, a cluster of hair cells which have their hairs linked in a glob of jelly known as 'cupala'. All fish posses free neuromasts, which come in contact directly with the water. Most fish have a series of neuromasts not in direct contact with the water. These are arranged linearly and form the fishes lateral lines. A free neuromast gives the fish directional input.

A lateral line receives signals stimulated in a sequence, and gives the fish much more information (feeling the other fish around it for polarized schooling, and short-range prey detection 'the sense of distant touch').

Electricity: electroreception. Sharks and rays posses special organs for detecting electrical potential [voltage]. A set of pits comprise the electroreceptive system called the ampullae of Lorenzini. These are canals in the skin filled with a gelatin-like material that also contain sensory cells. Movements or disturbances near the shark change the voltage drop along the canals, which allows the shark to sense other organisms nearby. These sensors are so sensitive that if there were not any other distortions a shark could detect the heartbeat of a fish, or the touching together the leads of a wire 500 miles apart connected to a 1 1/2 volt battery. They can detect muscular contractions of struggling prey and even the earth's magnetic field (which sharks use for navigation). FishMAX® propagates an omni directional electrical frequency pattern in water.

FishMAX® will attract and excite fish, if there are fish in the signal area, however you still have to use your skill with bait or lure to catch them!
