Theory of Electric and Magnetic Orientation in Sharks and Rays Revisited [E-Book] : Physical Principles, Biological Evidence, and Rebuttal of Misconceptions / by Adrianus J. Kalmijn.
The book describes the theory of electromagnetic orientation in sharks and rays. The theory evolved from studying the publications of Faraday, von Arx, and Longuett-Higgins. Sharks and rays can detect the earth's magnetic field as well as the ambient electric fields, utilizing their electrosens...
