ABSTRACT

The effects of alternating electromagnetic field (EMF) having a frequency of 500 Hz on productional parameters of Daphnia magna were studied. It was shown a dependence of magnetobiological effects on the stage of ontogeny during which EMF is acting. An attempt is made to explain the “prolonged” action of EMF. It was revealed that this factor might be immediately inhibiting the reproductive processes in D. magna as well as change a program of reproductive realization when EMF acts during the juvenile period.
