In general fish are near sighted and their eyes are much more sensitive to light than ours. I have read that LMB have eyes that are five times more senstive than ours. In addition color vision in fish is much different than ours and can vary quite a bit between different types of fish. LMB have two cones (color recpetors) attached per nerve while we only have one. Fish that live in the deeper depths of the ocean can have five or more cones attached per nerve. Water does filter out certain wavelengths of color as depth changes.
