Eyes of Fish• Much like
human eyes• But no eye lids• Many sizes and
colors

Anatomy of Eye• Sclera• Cornea• Lens• Iris• Retina• Optic nerve

Powerful Eyes• Spherical lens
• High refractive power
• High quality
• Receptors: cones and rods

Light Absorption
• The dimming of light as it passes through water
• Red wavelengths absorbed rapidly
• Blue wavelengths absorbed slowly
• Deep ocean is blue

Light Refraction• Cone of Vision
• Water bends 48.6 degrees
• Freshwater pools
• Snell’s window

Light Regulation
• To limit light• Iris contraction• Smaller eyes• Migration of visual
cells• Cornea filter
pigments• Swim away from
light

Light Regulation• For more light:
• Mirrors in back of eye
• Larger eyes• Swim toward light

Conclusion
• Some similarities w/ humans
• Different environments
• More obstacles• More diverse• Altered behaviors
