...-responses was dominated by the M-cone mechanism for all fish, but O. mykiss appeared to show an additional contribution from the L-cone mechanism. Using chromatic adaptation, an independent ultraviolet-sensitive mechanism is described for the first time for the salmonid genus Salvelinus . In addition...
