Popis: Single cone spectral response curves were obtained with the aid of specially designed equipment. Statistical analysis of 142 records selected from hundreds, based solely on the greatest signal-to-noise ratio, revealed three groups of cones; the red cones (74 per cent) with the peaking wavelength at 611±23mμ, green cones (10 per cent) at 529±14mμ , and blue cones (16 per cent at 462±15mμ). These peaking wavelengths are in close accord with those of single cone absorption spectra measured by Marks and MacNichol in the goldfish by a microspectrophotometer. Apparently, Young's trichromatic theory applies at the photoreceptor level in Cyprinidae.
