Anthropogenic electromagnetic fields (EMF) influence the behaviour of bottom-dwelling marine species


" We demonstrate a striking increase in exploratory/foraging behaviour in skates in response to EMF and a more subtle exploratory response in lobsters. In addition, by directly measuring both the magnetic and electric field components of the EMF emitted by HVDC cables we found that there were DC and unexpectedly AC components." {Credits 1}

" Modern cable sheathing retains the electric field but the DC or AC magnetic field is emitted into the surrounding environment and from that arises a motionally induced electric field (DC or AC) either from the rotational nature of an AC magnetic field [20] and/or from water/animal movement through the AC/DC magnetic field [21]." {Credits 1}
