Effects of Geomagnetic Field Deprivation on Embryonic Development and Hatching of Prussian Carp (Carassius gibelio)

Fish are sensitive to environmental conditions, including electromagnetic factors. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the influence of geomagnetic field (GMF) deprivation on embryo mortality, percentage of deformed larvae, and hatching rate of the freshwater Prussian carp (Carassius gibeli...

Zusammenfassung:Fish are sensitive to environmental conditions, including electromagnetic factors. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the influence of geomagnetic field (GMF) deprivation on embryo mortality, percentage of deformed larvae, and hatching rate of the freshwater Prussian carp (Carassius gibelio). The results indicate that hypogeomagnetic conditions can affect embryogenesis in Prussian carp. GMF deprivation led to an increase of embryo mortality after 24 and 72 hours of incubation, acceleration of the hatching process and increase of hatched egg percentage till 129 hours. The shielding of the geomagnetic field did not change the percentage of deformed larvae.
