Under dim blue-violet light, the greeneye fish reveals how it gets its name. Its bulging, upward-looking eyes glow an eerie green. Credit: Edie Widder, NOAA Ocean Explorer

The Green eyed fish developed a clever ability, to see better in very deep water. I suppose that if you live in virtual darkness, any advantage to spot predators is important and the green hue gives this fish an edge. I found it captivating that red light has longer wavelengths than yellow light and both red and yellow's wavelengths are longer than greens. Violet light has the shortest wavelength. Anything shorter than violet is called ultraviolet witch is invisible to the naked eye. It seems that this information could be used to develop better deep sea equipment that allows humans to see in the darkness of the deep oceans.
It is very important that the green-eyed fish found a way to see in deep water that way they can see their predators and prey better. That is a very big advantage to have that ability, and like Samantha said, I found it really interesting that the different colored wavelengths are longer that others.
It is super cool that the green eyed fish, well, sort of, maybe adapted to having green eyes in blue violet light. I think that is a great advantage for them, since their green eyes help them see other animals and prey very very deep in the ocean.
Also, the photos were taken by a lady named Edie Widder! I thought that was kind of funny... :) ;)
I think it is cool that this green eyed fish can see in darker water that others may not be able to see. Like the others said this is helpful to keep away from prey.
I think this fish has a very lucky a ability. I think that it is hard to see in the ocean especially when they are deep down below the surface. I also think that this would be a clever ability because they can see if a predator is coming and if it is trying to eat them. if I were this fish I would be so glad that I would be able to see in deep dark areas.

The Green eyed fish has a helpful ability that will let it it see deep in the ocean. It is interesting that different colors have different wavelengths.
The experiment shows that the greeneye fish’s fluorescent lenses take in blue-violet light and send a blue-green image to its retina and brain. It translates one color to another color so it can use it to survive. It’s strange that the fluorescent light doesn’t change direction as it passes through the fish’s eyes. Scientists don’t really know how this vision system works. It helps the greeneye see more blue-violet predators and more blue-violet prey. What do the predators or prey see when they look at the greeneye fish?
It is cool that they can have that ability. It probably would help them to spot things and survive in darkness. It is interesting that when there is violet light that the eyes are a green color. It is interesting that they have this ability, and it is good for them to see prey when things are dark. It is amazing how many abilities different creatures have to help them survive.

It is incredible how the green-eye fish's eyes change upon sensing the blue light of bioluminescence, so it can see the animals lighting up.

I think that it is really interesting how the green eyed fish was able to develop an ability to see well in water deep down.
I found this incredible that their eyes glow green. When I heard that, I suspected that it would help them see underwater and I was right!

Pretty cool. It's interesting how the fish uses the green eyes to see clearly underwater.

I think it is interesting that it sees better deeper underwater. I wonder what it sees in lighter waters
