“…On the other hand, avoidance reactions might hinder upstream migrations of fish. The experiments reported here are a continuation of studies begun in FY 2010, which focused on the potential effects of static magnetic fields on snails, clams, and fathead minnows (Cada et al 2011). Those experiments found little indication that the behaviors of these freshwater species were altered by the static magnetic fields that would be created by submerged, direct current (DC)-transmitting electrical cables expected to be used by the HK developers.…”

“…Laboratory experiments conducted in FY 2010 found no evidence that three common freshwater taxa (the snail Elimia clavaeformis, the clam Corbicula fluminea, and the fathead minnow Pimephales promelas) were either attracted to or repelled by a static (DC) magnetic field (Cada et al 2011). Similarly, further experiments in FY 2011 with juvenile sunfish, channel catfish, and striped bass did not detect a significant change in position relative to controls (Table 5).…”

“…Estimated magnetic flux densities for cables are as follows: at cable surfaces, values were very high-463-8000 μT; 0.1 m from the cable, values dropped to 154 to 890 μT, then to values within earth background at 1 m from cable. Cada et al (2011) 4.5…”

“…In all cases, responding organizations indicated they had not measured or predicted EMF for their devices or related power cables. However, ORNL was able to calculate expected field strengths from available information on amperage and cable properties; the calculated values suggest magnetic flux densities could range from 400 to more than 8,000 microtesla (μT) at the surface of the cable, or 0.4 to 8 mT (Cada et al 2011). Field observations during the COWRIE EMF project indicated field strengths could range from 0.23 to 0.6 μT at the Burbo site and 0.01 μT at the Ardtow site (Gill et al 2009).…”
