  2. Snell's window - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snell's_window

    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]

  3. Four-eyed fish - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four-eyed_fish

    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.

  4. Vision in fish - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vision_in_fish

    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.

  5. Underwater vision - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underwater_vision

    Views through a flat mask, above and below water. By wearing a flat diving mask, humans can see clearly underwater. [2] [7] [8] The mask's flat window separates the eyes from the surrounding water by a layer of air. Light rays entering from water into the flat parallel window change their direction minimally within the window material itself. [2]

  6. Anomalopidae - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anomalopidae

    Flashlight fish are found in tropical ocean waters across the world. [3] They are typically about 14 cm (5.5 in) in size, although some species can reach twice this length. They are nocturnal, feeding at night on small crustaceans. Some species move to shallow waters near coral reefs at night, but otherwise, they are exclusively deep water fish ...

    Bamboo Shrimp need stable water conditions, and they do best in well-established aquariums, like one of the best tropical fish tanks, that have lots of plants and places to hide. 16. Mystery Snails

  8. Sensory systems in fish - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sensory_systems_in_fish

    Fish vision shows adaptation to their visual environment, for example deep sea fishes have eyes suited to the dark environment. Fish and other aquatic animals live in a different light environment than terrestrial species. Water absorbs light so that with increasing depth the

  9. Teleost - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teleost

    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.
