Several marine species have developed a magnetic perception that is essential for navigation and detection of prey predators. One these the transparent glass catfish contains an ampullary organ dedicated to sense fields. Here we examine behavior in response static fields which will provide valuable insight on function this response. By utilizing state art animal tracking software artificial intelligence approaches, quantified effects swimming direction catfish. The results demonstrate placed radial arm maze, consistently swim away from over 20 μT show adaptability changing field location.
