This project investigates the unique visual adaptations of deep-sea fish, particularly their potential ability to perceive colors through specialized rod cells. By analyzing the molecular structure and function of these cells, the research aims to uncover how these fish have evolved to see in the dark depths of the oce…
Deep-sea fishes are known for extraordinary adaptations including enhanced sensory systems.
They have eyes often modified in shape, anatomy or at the molecular level.
Fascinatingly, some deep-sea fishes have evolved unique vision to potentially see colours.
Here I propose to study functional evolution of this visual system, and to target the crucial question – can deep-sea fish see in colours?
To perceive light, vertebrate retina has two types of photoreceptor cells, the rods for dim-light visio…
