A resistive counter is associated with an in-river structure, an example constituting a Crump weir. [1] The resistivity of a fish is lower than that of water. So, as fish cross this barrier, they pass embedded electrodes, and the difference in resistivity disturbs the field established in the vicinity of the electrodes, altering inter-electrode resistance.
