Turning off the lights, or covering the eye with a removable "cup" of some sort might be a good idea, if it is practical with your study species... I'd be skeptical that blinding the fish chemically or physically wouldn't lead to many experimental artifacts (behavioral changes... unless this is what you're after). A humane method may be simpler, cost you less in red tape, and... it's humane. Best regards,
