(U.R) Can a fish really see all those gaudy colors on hook lures? Fisheries scientists have been trying to answer this question conclusively for ages, said Karl F. Lagler, chairman of the Uni versity of Michigan's department of fisheries. The best answer so far is that "no fish is known not to have color vision." On the other hand, there is no final proof that a fish does see color as the fisherman sees it, he said. Some fish, such as the large mouth bass and certain trouts, definitely have shown that they are able to discriminate between colors. It is probable that various fishes exhibit different degrees of color sensitivity, he said. 'Judging from appearances to man when viewed under water, he continued, it seems that sur face lures like dry flies and floating plugs offer no color, but are viewed only in silhouette. Some support to claims that fish do perceive colors in the fact that many fresh water spe cies are so brilliantly hued. This is especially so during the breed ing season. Lagler said, and may be of use in recognition of mates. "Males are usually brighter or more intesely colored than fe males," he pointed out. Further support for those who say fish have color vision is the fact that many fish are able to adapt themselves to differently colored backgrounds. "An outstanding example of this chameleon - quality in fish is the flounder, which can closely match a checkerboard or a piece of plaid when placed on it," Lag ler explained.
