Understanding how wrasses and parrotfish see is helping The University of Queensland scientists understand more about the biodiversity found on the Great Barrier Reef. The reef is one of the most visually diverse environments on the planet, especially in terms of light availability and the colours and patterns on the animals that live on the reef.
