However, an international collaboration of researchers have discovered several species of fish that likely can see in color, even in regions of the ocean that light cannot reach.

Scientists have discovered a previously unknown visual system that may allow color vision in deep, dark waters–around 650 to 5,000 feet below sea level, where animals were presumed to be colorblind.

The eyes of little-understood fish that lurks in the barely-lit deep sea have evolved to see in color, scientists believe. The work, published in the journal Science, calls into question past ...
