Sharks Use Earth’s Magnetic Fields To Navigate – Forbes
Even though the study focuses on bonnetheads, Keller said the findings likely apply to other shark species as well.
For 50 years, scientists have hypothesized that sharks use the magnetic field as a navigational aid, said Bryan Keller, a recent Ph.D. graduate who conducted his research at the Florida State University (FSU) Coastal and Marine Laboratory.
