The correct units for the quantity in the sentence below should read: (≈1μV)

The current sentence is "When prey enter the fish's electric field, a small change in voltage occurs across the skin ≈1μVcmˉ¹".

The units for this quantity are incorrect. It is shown as microvolts per centimeter, but it should only be microvolts.
