Fish Believed Color
Ann Arbor, Mich. (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.
Suspect 'Blacked Out'
On Night of Murder
San Rafael, Calif. (U.R)
Rodney Sheran today still main
tained he "blacked out" last
Wednesday night when he al
legedly murdered his wife, Esme,
on Mt. Tamalpais.
Marin County Sheriff David
Menary took the accused 35-year-old
San Rafael contractor to the
murder scene yesterday but said
Sheran showed no emotion and
refused to change his story.
Sheran was captured in east
ern Oregon last Saturday night
during a west coast manhunt.
