Which mechanism prevents young European eels astray when they commence their trans-Atlantic migration in variable magnetic fields?

💡 Explanation

Magnetic fields guide eel migration; therefore, magnetic compass alignment allows them to maintain direction because their internal compass orientates along geomagnetic lines, rather than relying on stars or odour gradients, which seawater variably scatters.
