The Role of Salt Glands In Marine Vertebrates for Navigation and Migration (Crystalline Electromagnetic Conductors to Sense the Direction of Travel) By: Maryellen Elizabeth Hart November 8, 2018

Goal: I was studying my Biology and read about the salt gland of marine animals (birds, turtles, etc.). Before reading further, I hypothesized the salt glands were being used for navigation (crystalline electromagnetic conductors to sense the direction of travel, the north and south poles, latitude and longitude) necessary for navigation in the ocean without the visual aid of land, sun or stars. I researched everything I could find, and have decided I am on a right track AND A NEW PATH. Supportive sources document the electromagnetic capability of crystalline structures contained within the salt glands of marine animals, however, no marine biologists have yet associated the salt gland with navigation of migratory paths by marine animals, an ability long held as a great mystery of science. I would like to research this more and would like to be connected with anyone currently interested or simultaneously researching this topic. I am reserving the copyright to my hypothesis if my hypothesis turns out right. Please allow me the much-needed credit. Please, my friends, connecting me with Marine Biologists who would be interested in my research. Thank you so very much. Blessings. Maryellen Elizabeth Hart November 8, 2018. Https://www.eidon.com/the-crystalline-electromagnetic-body/ Wikipedia says: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salt_gland https://www.eidon.com/the-crystalline-electromagnetic-body/ "The geomagnetic field is relatively stable over biological time scales and is axial, with the magnetic field lines roughly directed north-south and symmetric in both hemispheres. This provides a reliable, static reference system for orientation and navigation. Alternatively, magnetic anomalies within the Earth’s crust can also be recognized and used as reference features. Taking advantage of these properties of the geomagnetic field, some groups of animals have developed a biological magnetic compass, similar to the magnetic compass used by humans to locate the north magnetic pole. The magnetic compass has been described as an axial compass (also known as Inclination compass) for migratory birds and homing pigeons (Wiltschko and Wiltschko 1972; Walcott and Green 1974), and is based on the axial course of the geomagnetic field lines on the Earth’s surface. The magnetic compass is used as a reference system and as a mechanism to maintain steady courses during homing and migrations. Therefore animals able to discriminate the minute but steady changes of the inclination angle and the intensity of the geomagnetic field can potentially establish their latitudinal position. To date, several models for position determination based on magnetic field parameters have been proposed (Davila 2005). Lohmann et al. (1999) proposed that sea turtles use a combination of intensity and inclination, as independent coordinates for map information. Contours of equal magnetic intensity and inclination form a grid that can potentially be used as a bi-coordinate position-finding system over areas of the Atlantic Ocean, where sea turtles spend most of their life cycle. This model cannot, however, be generalized since isolines of magnetic inclination and intensity intersect each other at high angles only over local regions of the Earth’s surface (Davila 2005). In regions where the isolines are near-parallel to each other, or where the magnetic landscape is dominated by crustal magnetic anomalies, the bi-coordinate model is not viable for position determination..."
