June Lecture “The (Sometimes) Secret World of Fish Color”

Speaker: Dr. Michael Robinson, Associate Professor, Barry University

Fishes are the most diverse vertebrates, and this diversity is also reflected in their wild and sometimes surprising color patterns. For our June lecture,  Dr. Michael Robinson shed light on the ways fish use their colors to communicate, hide, and sometimes to do both with the exact same colors. He also revealed some of the secret colors fish use that humans cannot see!
