A method for repelling an elasmobranch comprising the use of an electropositive metal lacking permanent magnetism;
- wherein the electropositive metal is used in combination with at least one apparatus associated with fishing;
- and
- wherein the electropositive metal has a revised Pauling electronegativity sufficient to repel an elasmobranch.
A method for repelling an elasmobranch comprising the use of an electropositive metal lacking permanent magnetism;
- wherein the electropositive metal is attached to a human body, or to clothing or accessories associated with the human body;
- and
- wherein the electropositive metal has a revised Pauling electronegativity sufficient to repel an elasmobranch.
A method for repelling an elasmobranch comprising the use of an electropositive metal lacking permanent magnetism;
- wherein the electropositive metal is attached to a surfboard;
- wherein the electropositive metal is part of an apparatus associated with fishing;
- and
- wherein the electropositive metal has a revised Pauling electronegativity sufficient to repel an elasmobranch.
