Surprise about the ability to distinguish colors of marine ornamental fish

Australian scientists have concluded that small fishes living around coral reefs in the ocean have the ability to distinguish colors that humans cannot.

The conclusion is endorsed by Australian scientists through a study published September 21.

To get the above conclusion, scientists from Australia's Queensland Institute of Brainstorm conducted a series of tests to track changes in the behavior of trigger fish. They found that this fish is really capable of distinguishing the dark, light tones of the same color.

Cow fish have the ability to distinguish light, dark tones of the same color.

In addition, the ability to distinguish colors clearly in some color spaces of this fish is superior to humans.

According to the explanation of the scientists, because the habitat of this aquarium is coral reefs that have the most colorful colors in the world, so they can distinguish the colors that humans cannot .

However, because the ocean environment is always a blue color, the perception of the colors of these fishes is also affected by the blue.

In addition, in this study, scientists discovered a number of marine aquarium fish, such as the famous "Finding Nemo" clown fish or the fish that can recognize the UV wavelengths that humans still have. often avoid contact.

This is the first study to understand how marine ornamental fish species distinguish colors.

Scientists hope this study not only helps people to better understand the beauty of the natural world, thereby knowing how to protect them, which can be put into practical application in the human world. .
