Analysis on Ponyfish (Secutor insidiator) Behavior Response Toward Color Light Intensity
Abstract
Light is one of the artificial stimuli to attract and concentrate fish on the catchable area. Each fish species can perceive a particular wavelength by photo pigment in its retina. The influence factors to retinal adaptation are color light, light intensity and time of exposure. Fish retinal adaptation toward light is indicated by change of cone cell movement level. The objectives of this research were to revealed pattern of ponyfish reaction and to analyze the adaptation process of cone cell toward blue, green, yellow, and red color light. Experiment was carried out in experimental tank of CV. Mutiara Dua, Pelabuhan Ratu Bay and Fish Culture Laboratory at Bogor Agricultural University, November 2005 to January 2006. The results indicated that ponyfish more perceive green light than the other color light. Retinal adaptation of ponyfish showed that cone cell has fully adapted in 13 lux of green and blue light, 15 lux of yellow light and 19 lux of red light at 10 minutes exposure time. According to data, ponyfish can perceive these wavelengths of light
