Tóm tắt

In this study, we determined the color vision and spectral sensitivity of pointhead flounder, slime flounder, and red halibut by recording electrophysiological S-potentials from isolated retinas; this basic data was collected to aid the selection of appropriate colors and effective wavelengths for selective fishing gear for sustainable fisheries. Four kinds of L-response and one C-response were recorded in the pointhead flounder and red halibut. Two kinds of L-response were recorded in the slime flounder. The occurrence of a C-response indicates the possession of color vision. The C-responses show that the pointhead flounder has superior distinction from blue to yellow, and red halibut has superior distinction from blue and green to red. The most frequently recorded L-responses indicate high spectral sensitivity at 544 nm in pointhead flounder and 518 nm in slime flounder and red halibut. All recorded L- and C-responses indicate sensitivity to ultraviolet wavelengths.
