Fish

Deep-sea fish may look like creatures from another world, but why they have such unusual eyes seems to be the result of an evolutionary process of specialisation.

A ‘Fish DJ’ at QBI has used her knowledge of cool beats to understand brain networks and hearing in baby fish.

The zebrafish is helping QBI researchers understand how the human brain processes sound, while also giving insight to autism spectrum disorder.

Professors Massimo Hilliard and Geoffrey Goodhill have received NHMRC Investigator grants to continue their research, helping shed light on brain and neurodevelopmental disorders.

Sensing movements in the water is critical to the behaviour and survival of fish and amphibians—QBI researchers have now described the brain networks that allow fish to detect water flow.

Researchers have discovered that Great Barrier Reef anemonefish can see ultraviolet light (UV) and may use it as a ‘secret channel’ to find both food and friends.

Queensland Brain Institute researchers have discovered some types of deep-sea fish may have highly sensitive colour vision.

A new colour vision test for animals developed by UQ researchers may help us understand why animals vary so greatly in colour.

How do predators learn what they can and cannot eat by how their prey looks? It’s all about the pattern edge, say University of Queensland researchers.

A new type of cell for twilight vision has been found in the eye of a deep-sea fish, and scientists say the discovery opens a new world of understanding vision in a variety of light conditions.
