Patent ID: 6837182

Claim:
An apparatus for controlling aquatic creatures in a body of water, said apparatus comprising: a) a power supply; b) a solar conversion means electrically connectd to the power supply, for supplying and regulating a desired level of energy within the power supply; c) a first electrode and a second electrode; d) a controllable switch means for connecting the first and second electrodes selectively to an output of the power supply; and e) a computing device means collecting at least one signal that urovides information relating to charge status of the power supply, said comnutinu device means determinifla a mode of operation of said solar conversion means based on said at least one signal and providing control signals to the controllable switch means and the solar conversion means thereby controlling conversion of solar energy into a form compatible with the power supply and controlling the application of elecirical energy to the first and second electrodes by the controllable switch means; wherein the apparatus is in operational contact with the body of water.
