Electromagnetic surveys generate electromagnetic fields to map petroleum deposits under the seabed with unknown consequences for marine animals. The electric and magnetic fields induced by electromagnetic surveys can be detected by many marine animals, and the generated fields may potentially affect the behavior of perceptive animals. Animals using magnetic cues for migration or local orientation, especially during a restricted time-window, risk being affected by electromagnetic surveys. In electrosensitive animals, anthropogenic electric fields could disrupt a range of behaviors. The lack of studies on effects of the electromagnetic fields induced by electromagnetic surveys on the behavior of magneto- and electrosensitive animals is a reason for concern. Here, we review the use of electric and magnetic fields among marine animals, present data on survey generated and natural electromagnetic fields, and discuss potential effects of electromagnetic surveys on the behavior of marine animals.

海洋动物的电磁感应以及电磁勘测的潜在行为影响。

电磁勘测产生电磁场以绘制海底石油沉积物的图，对海洋动物的后果未知。电磁勘测产生的电场和磁场可以被许多海洋动物检测到，并且所产生的磁场可能会影响感知动物的行为。使用磁性线索进行迁移或局部定向的动物，尤其是在有限的时间范围内，可能会受到电磁调查的影响。在电敏感的动物中，人为电场可能会破坏一系列行为。缺乏对电磁勘测引起的电磁场对磁敏感动物和电敏感动物行为的影响的研究是令人关注的原因。在这里，我们回顾了海洋动物中电场和磁场的使用，
