Permanent magnets as elasmobranch bycatch reduction devices
Analysis of permanent magnets as elasmobranch bycatch reduction devices in hook-and-line and longline trials Craig P. O’Connell, Daniel C. Abel, Eric M. Stroud, Patrick H. Rice. ABSTRACT: Previous studies indicate that elasmobranch fishes (sharks, skates and rays) detect the Earth’s geomagnetic field by indirect magnetoreception through electromagnetic induction, using their ampullae of Lorenzini. Applying this
