<P> The electric eel has three pairs of abdominal organs that produce electricity : the main organ , the Hunter 's organ , and the Sach 's organ . These organs make up four - fifths of its body , and give the electric eel the ability to generate two types of electric organ discharges : low voltage and high voltage . These organs are made of electrocytes , lined up so a current of ions can flow through them and stacked so each one adds to a potential difference . </P>
