Hahaha Baz If I made a card up the Flatties would probably eat it, I have found they are angry little buggers. Anthony

Hi James, I tried this and they came down hard on me with all the redtape, not keen to relive that. Anthony

Hi bn, With fish alot is still not known but the fish that live closer to reefs tend to be able to see more colours, those at depth tend to have more focus visually to pick up light and silhouettes of prey above but less colour ranges. In the ocean we haven't found any really pattern for fish and vision and we are still looking, with freshwater fish its just a chaotic mess. Almost nothing has been down on fish that live on the bottom like flathead. My focus at the moment is to start by determining what colours flathead can see (if any) and how the eyes of Flatheads are structured. I also what to look at how it changes between species. Hope that gives you some idea, Anthony

To members of fishraider, I am a Masters Student at Macquarie University currently doing research on the visual capabilities of Flathead. The project is funded and approved by Macquarie University. I am in need of 5-6 live Bluespot Flathead and 5-6 live Sand Flathead. If anyone is willing to help by donating any that they catch that would be greatly appreciated. Keeping Flathead alive is best done in an Bait tank or tub with an Aerator. For the well being of the fish it is also best if you are within a few hours of the Sydney region. If you are able to help please contact me at 0401040427 OR Via fishraider personal message at AmbushAngler THIS POST HAS BEEN APPROVED BY FISHRAIDER ADMIN Many thanks, Anthony
