Mahalo,
I unfortunately chose a poor way to express myself. I do not intend to physically blind fish but keep them in a condition that does not allow the photoreceptor's to function. As an FIT alumni you know how resource limited grad students are. I need to be able to film Eucinostomus gula feeding without vision. I am looking at the photoreceptor mosaic, density, ellipsoid width etc and the peculiar anal spine - swim bladder - inner ear connection they possess. I am curious as to how visually and aurally they are driven while locating infaunal prey.
Sincerely,
Ian
