  • The attraction to electromagnetic fields (EMF) from underwater power cables could potentially disrupt female crab migration patterns and population levels
  • Female crabs were affected by magnetic field strengths from subsea power cables found in real ocean environments, not just artificially high levels in labs
  • While underwater cables will cover less than 0.1 per cent of the ocean floor by 2050, they could still cause problems for marine life if they're placed in the wrong spots
