A detailed investigation of the visual system and visual ecology of the Barrier Reef anemonefish, Amphiprion akindynos

November 11, 2019

Vision plays a major role in the life of most teleosts, and is assumingly well adapted to each species ecology and behaviour.

Using a multidisciplinary approach, we scrutinised several aspects of the visual system and ecology of the Great Barrier Reef anemonefish, Amphiprion akindynos, including its orange with white patterning, retinal anatomy and molecular biology, its symbiosis with anemones and sequential hermaphroditism.
