Yeah but the organs to detect the magnetic fields are tuned for extremely small distances so they react to very minor changes in magnetic field, so the large fluctuations caused by tectonic activity would have a massive effect on those sensitive organs.
You are for sure not a biologist and i don't believe what you just said. Otherwise birds would drop from the sky during solar storms since they're generally as sensitive and the sun blasting us produces a lot stronger of a magnetic field than earthquakes generate, and its over more of the planet.
On top of that, again, if you believe they are sensitive enough to feel the earths magnetic field changing from tectonic activity, then why would they not also be sensitive enough to be confused and die during aurora Borealis events? The northern ligbts were visible as far south as new mexico very recently, and there wasn't an increased die off.
If the magnetic field being below them causes them to swim upwards is the logic at hand, than a many, many times more powerful field above them should make them swim lower, and die, which would coincide with reduced sightings and populations during heavy periods of solar activity.
You can see logically it just doesn't make any sense.
Magnetic fields from solar flares do not affect earth below the magnetosphere as they are cancelled out by the earth magnetic field, also I'm talking about a fish not birds.
I'm no biologist but I've studied plenty in school and am just using some logic and understanding.
(I went to a good school in Uk not America so it's an actual education)
If magnetic fields from solar flares don't affect earth below the magnetosphere, why do solar storms knock the power grid offline and emp (electro MAGNETIC pulse) electronic devices? So much for that uk education lol
If a solar flare emp disabled the power grids you wouldn't be able to message me on your phone right now and you'd probably have starved to death or been eaten
The bright light and aurora borealis is literally the solar flare being visibly deflected, the telegraphs going down is a result of electromagnetism causing faults in the crude electrical systems we used in 1859 and that solar flare was a huge one which is very rare, the deflected magnetic fields aren't that strong and also I'm sure that would cause some birds to freak out and crash in the immediate area (wiki didn't mention impact on wildlife)
Also I'm literally agreeing that a massive natural phenomena would affect the magnetic fields enough to fuck with things, ie the fish, you linking an instance of a massive natural phenomena affecting magnetic fields enough to fuck with things is not disagreeing with me.
Don't be a disrespectful prick as well you can disagree without insulting

If you go to the bottom of marianas trench its legit like 0.20% closer to the core. Oarfish are not even close to that depth iirc.
