| Sharks are likely color-blind |
鲨鱼竟是色盲 |
| Researchers in Australia have discovered a weakness of one of the ocean's most fierce predators. Sharks, it seems, are completely color blind, the BBC reports. The scientists, who examined retinas of 17 different species of shark, discovered the creatures have only one type of color-sensitive cell, known as a cone cell, in their eyes. Human eyes have three cone cell types, with each type dedicated to receiving blue, green or red light. This allows most people to distinguish among different colored objects. The research could help to prevent shark attacks on humans and assist in the development of fishing gear that may reduce the number of sharks caught accidentally in long-line fisheries. |
鲨鱼是海洋中最凶猛的食肉动物之一。但据英国广播公司报道，澳大利亚科学家发现了它的一个弱点，即色盲。科学家们在检查了17种不同的鲨鱼的视网膜后，发现它们视网膜上只有一种感知色光的视锥细胞。而人类的视网膜则有3种视锥细胞，能够分别辨认蓝、绿和红色三种色光，这样大部分人就可以分辨不同颜色的物体。这一研究发现有助于预防鲨鱼攻击人类，同样有助于改进渔具，以减少长线捕鱼导致鲨鱼死亡的数量。
