Why Many Deep Sea
FISH Are INVISIBLE

THE recent investigations into the life Oh
the deeper portions Of the ocean have
- brought to light an astonishing num-
ber OF forms Of fish, and especially OF
prawns OF a brilliantly red color, living IN
the ocean at depth OF 500 fathoms, or 5000
feet But astonishing as 1t may seem, these
brilliantly colored fish and prawns, instead
of being conspicuous in the water at that
depth, are almost invisible, when almost any
other color could be easily seen. This led
the investigators to try and find out why
this particular depth OF the ocean was as
ISOLATED with this vivid red Colored marine
life
Accordingly Photographic plates OF great
sensitiveness were sunk in the sea 10 various
depths and the results recorded, the depth,
the time Of exposure. the effect on the plate
and various other factors being carefully
considered. Then plates were submerged IN
the water to various depths, having light
filters, that is to say, being protected by a
glass Of certain color which would stop all
the rays of that color, just as a blue glass
stops the red and yellow rays OF sunlight
