Abstract
The light-absorbing properties of visual pigments determine the sensitivity of the eye to various parts of the spectrum. An animal with a red-absorbing pigment is sensitive to red light. Conversely, an animal with a blue-absorbing pigment is relatively more sensitive to blue light. These points are illustrated in Fig. 1, where the visual pigment spectra and corresponding scotopic sensitivities of tench (a freshwater fish) and frog are compared. The tench pigment absorbs maximally at 533 nm, whereas that of the frog is displaced some 30 nm towards shorter wavelengths. Köttgen and Abelsdorff (1896) were the first workers who noted this difference between tench and frog. In fact, all the freshwater fish they examined had visual pigments that were more violet in colour (i. e. absorbed at longer wavelengths) than those from terrestrial vertebrates such as birds, mammals and amphibians.
