Abstract
Effect of the dc electric field of the corrosion protection of oil pipelines crossing the Ob River on the behavioral response of fish was investigated. It was shown by calculations and measurements that, at the bottom level, the electric field strength was 0.6 V/m, and at a depth of 2 m from the surface, it was 0.4-0.1 V/m and extended to a distance of 50-100 m from the oil pipeline. It was established that the electric field of oil pipelines lowered the migration activities of fish, resulting in a growth of fish number in regions of increased electric field strength.
