TECHNICALLY the Lateral Line system present in most fish is actually used to detect movement in the water, like tiny shockwaves. The organ you're thinking of is present in sharks and some other marine life and known as the Ampullae of Lorenzini, it detects electrical impulses, and it's one of the reasons that people say "punching a shark in the nose will disorient it" Because you're basically disrupting both it's olfaction senses and the ampullae of lorenzini.
