Fertilized Medaka fish eggs were used to determine if electromagnetic fields, designed to simulate those beneath a high voltage power line, have biological effects on vertebrate embryo development. The newly fertilized eggs were exposed to a 60 Hz electrical field of 300 mA/m2 current density, a 60 Hz magnetic field of 1.0 gauss RMS, or to the combined electric plus magnetic fields for 48 hours. No gross abnormalities were observed in any of the embryos as they developed, but significant development delays were seen in those embryos exposed to either the magnetic or to the combined electromagnetic fields; delays were not seen in the embryos exposed to the electrical field. Thus, a 60 Hz magnetic field like that encountered in a man made powerline environment was shown to retard development of fish embryos.
受精的青鳉鱼卵被用于确定旨在模拟高压输电线下方电磁场的电磁场是否对脊椎动物胚胎发育具有生物学效应。新受精的鱼卵被暴露于电流密度为300 mA/m²的60赫兹电场、均方根值为1.0高斯的60赫兹磁场或电场加磁场的组合场中48小时。在胚胎发育过程中，未观察到任何明显异常，但暴露于磁场或组合电磁场中的胚胎出现了显著的发育延迟；暴露于电场中的胚胎未出现延迟。因此，研究表明，在人造电力线环境中遇到的60赫兹磁场会阻碍鱼类胚胎的发育。
