Snell's window (also called Snell's circle [1] or optical man-hole [2]) is a phenomenon by which an underwater viewer sees everything above the surface through a cone of light of width of about 96 degrees. [3] This phenomenon is caused by refraction of light entering water, and is governed by Snell's Law. [4]
Comparison of the depths which different colours of light penetrate clear open ocean waters and the murkier coastal waters. Water absorbs the warmer long wavelengths colours, like reds and oranges, and scatters the cooler short wavelength colours. [4] Fish and other aquatic animals live in a different light environment than terrestrial species do.
These fish are also known from marine habitats. Indian glassy fish: Parambassis ranga: 3.1" These fish are often dyed. Targetfish, Jarbua terapon: Terapon jarbua: 14" These fish breed in saltwater and the young return to freshwater. Banded archerfish: Toxotes jaculatrix: 12" These fish have the ability to shoot water to hit their insect prey ...

Bathyscope of c.a. 1850. The instrument which has been popularly named the Water, or Marine Telescope, from the power given by its use to see into the water, consists of a tube of metal or wood, of a convenient length, to enable a person looking over the gunnel of a boat to rest the head on the one end, while the other is below the surface of the water; the upper end is so formed, that the ...
Open water fish are usually streamlined like torpedoes to minimize turbulence as they move through the water. Reef fish live in a complex, relatively confined underwater landscape and for them, manoeuvrability is more important than speed, and many of them have developed bodies which optimize their ability to dart and change direction.
In early development, the four-eyed fish’s frontal bone expands dorsally allowing the eyes to be positioned on top of their head and appear bulging. [5] This allows the fish to simultaneously see above and below the water as it floats at the surface. The eyes are divided into dorsal and ventral halves, separated by a pigmented strip of tissue.
