Summary:
Can sharks see color? What about other animals that are closely related?According to research by the University of Western Australia, they are saying that sharks are unable to distinguish colors. Although it has been made evident, that their close relatives rays and chimaeras have some color vision. How can humans benefit from the information on their eyesight?
Opinion:
This new research may help us with prevention in shark attacks and fishing lure. It also may help to design long-line fishing lures, that are less attractive to sharks. As well as, to design swim wear and surf gear that has a lower visual contrast. Hopefully as more research is done, we will find out if all kinds of sharks have the same eyesight. Leading us to know how to be cautious and aware of what sharks are attracted too!
