Food uptake follows rules defined by feeding behaviour that determines the kind and
quantity of food ingested by fish larvae as well as how live prey and food particles are …

The world in color presents a dazzling dimension of phenotypic variation. Biological interest
in this variation has burgeoned, due to both increased means for quantifying spectral …

Vertebrate vision is accomplished through light-sensitive photopigments consisting of an
opsin protein bound to a chromophore. In dim light, vertebrates generally rely on a single …

The onset of exogenous feeding in fish larvae can be considered as the period from which
the ingestion is possible up to the moment when larval growth is detected. The main …

Among vertebrates, teleost eye diversity exceeds that found in all other groups. Their
spectral sensitivities range from ultraviolet to red, and the number of visual pigments varies …

In craniates, opsin‐based photopigments expressed in the eye encode molecular 'light
sensors' that constitute the initial protein in photoreception and the activation of the …

Background Cichlid fishes have radiated into hundreds of species in the Great Lakes of
Africa. Brightly colored males display on leks and vie to be chosen by females as mates …

The correlation between ontogenetic changes in the spectral absorption characteristics of
retinal photoreceptors and expression of visual pigment opsins was investigated in the black …

Jaw malformations are a recurrent obstacle in the hatchery production of high quality
juveniles of many marine finfish species. Whilst nutrition and temperature are often cited as …

This study examined the diversity and relative abundance of fish species in six coastal
habitats during the day and at night. Habitats included seagrass beds, Ecklonia macroalgal …
