  1. Fish Vision Andy Kulp Gavin Page Derek Shockey

  2. Similarities to Humans • Similar anatomical structures • Cornea • Iris • Lens • Retina with rods and cones • Many see in color

  3. Differences from Humans • Lens is large and spherical • Lens has a greater density • Focus by moving lens forward/backward • Much greater field of vision • Some have no blind spots, even behind • Flounder have eyes on same side

  4. Differences from Humans • No eyelids in general • Some have clear protective shield • Greater sensitivity to light • Cannot dilate pupils • Slower to adjust to new light levels • Monocular vision • Can focus on separate objects

  5. Differences Among Fish • Eye size varies • Noctural fish have larger eyes than diurnal fish • Some have Tapetum lucidum • Amplifies incoming light • Difference in visible spectral range • Four-eyed fish

  6. Vision Comparison How the Senses of Walleye Compare to Those of Other Gamefish www.thecontentwell.com

  7. Fish at Depth • Most deep sea fish most sensitive to light in the range 474-490nm • Same as sunlight which reaches this depth • Corresponds to bioluminescence of these fish • Most of these fish are not sensitive to color • Some have few or no cones

  9. Sharks • Sharks have nictitating membrane • Clear eyelid is deployed during attack to protect eyes from thrashing • Tapetum lucidum amplifies light • Can see in varying light conditions
