RT,

I have read that book and your buddy seems to have a poor short term memory

The book says that the eyes of pacific salmon species contain nerve cells witha peak sensitivity to blue and green light when in the ocean. And when they move into fresh water and "reach spawning condition" these nerves convert to longwave red light. This shift takes longer to occur in summer fish that don't spawn quickly like their winter cousins.

In addition, I believe his tests of colors underwater showed that blue had the best long distance vis in the ocean. His color tests also show that white tends to take on the color of the water. The underwater color testings were quite interesting.

All in all quite an interesting book with enough information and testing to make one try some new colors from time to time.
