A device (10) for controlling aquatic animals in a body of water, comprising: at least one first (108) and one second electrode (109), connected in a circuit, for immersion 5 in a body of water, such that the water, in use, completes the circuit; two or more discretely connected electrical charge storage devices; a charging circuit for charging the charge storage devices from a source of electrical energy; control means for generating control signals; and a controllable switch element for each charge storage device acting under the control of the control means; the control means being 0 configured to switch each switch element sequentially to connect the charge storage devices to the electrodes in response to the control signals, to discharge the charge storage devices sequentially; and further configured to create, with each such discharge, a pulse of electrical current flow in the body of water between the electrodes. i/0s <6 (9q |
