Electrofishing for Whales
I used to work on a fisheries crew where we would use an electro-fisher backpack to momentarily stun small fish (30 - 100 mm length) so we could scoop them up with nets to identify and measure them. The larger fish tended to be stunned for slightly longer because of their larger surface area but I don't imagine this relationship would be maintained for very large animals. Could you electrofish for a blue whale? At what voltage would you have have to set the e-fisher?

I think in What if image captions should be mandatory, because they are part or the story: https://instantview.telegram.org/contest/what-if.xkcd.com/template7/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwhat-if.xkcd.com%2F156%2F
