Do fish see night?

All fish have some level of night vision, although some species like walleyes are much better than others at seeing in the dark. That means they do not have “binocular vision” as we do.

Biologists estimate fish age by counting these opaque zones, called annuli, just as one would count rings on a tree to determine its age. For each species to which it is applied, the method of estimating age by counting annuli must be validated to prove that one whole annulus is equal to one year of growth.
