Editing Magnetoreception (section)

==== In fish ====

Studies of magnetoreception in [[bony fish]] have been conducted mainly with salmon. Both [[sockeye salmon]] (''Oncorhynchus nerka'') and [[Chinook salmon]] (''Oncorhynchus tschawytscha'') have a compass sense. This was demonstrated in experiments in the 1980s by changing the axis of a magnetic field around a circular tank of young fish; they reoriented themselves in line with the field.<ref name="Quinn 1980">{{cite journal |last=Quinn |first=Thomas P. |date=1980 |title=Evidence for celestial and magnetic compass orientation in lake migrating sockeye salmon fry |journal=[[Journal of Comparative Physiology A]] |volume=137 |issue=3 |pages=243–248 |doi=10.1007/bf00657119 |s2cid=44036559 }}</ref><ref name="Taylor 1986">{{cite journal |last=Taylor |first=P.
