MormyroPEG - MormyroPEG is a conceptual image file format for mormyrus (elephantfish).

Thanks to a device called Mormyrophone, developed by Christian Graff, it is possible to pick-up the electrical activity of the fish and to translate it into a sequence of bytes. The data collected is used to fill an empty JPEG file.

The file is no longer a simple JPEG, it becomes a MormyroPEG.
