Pelagic fish camouflage in shallow waters from the humboldt current system through intracellular structures and reflectance mechanisms
Abstract Pelagic fish have evolved specialized biogenic multilayer reflectors composed of stacks of intracellular anhydrous guanine crystals separated by cytoplasm, giving notorious silvery appearance to their skin. While the reflective properties of guanine crystals and their utility for fish camou...
