"Light and time in the sea: Development of vision in elopomorph fishes"

 Dr. Grace is studying a more "traditional" sensory system; vision with an interest in how the eyes of marine fishes change as individuals mature and move into new and different habitats. He studies economically and ecologically valuable fish species tarpon, bonefish, ladyfish and eels, with the goal of understanding how their changing eyes affect their abilities to detect light, discriminate colors, and ultimately catch prey and avoid predators.
