Unravelling reef fish vision through gene-editing and behavioural ecology

本项目旨在加深对大堡礁视觉神经科学、视觉遗传控制和环境生态学的认识。以海葵鱼为模型，结合新的基因、摄影和行为方法，该项目旨在揭示珊瑚礁色彩视觉的新方面。超出多个科学学科的成果包括加强国际合作和建设改善珊瑚礁监护的能力。其好处是在多个领域的科学发现，使社区对复杂科学有了更深入的了解，并产生了为子孙后代保护GBR的愿望。

This project aims to enhance understanding of visual neuroscience, genetic control of vision and environmental ecology on The Great Barrier Reef (GBR). Using the anemonefish as a model, together with new genetic, photographic and behavioural approaches, the project aims to reveal novel aspects of colour vision on the reef. Outcomes beyond multiple scientific disciplines include enhanced international collaboration and building capacity for improved reef guardianship. The benefits are scientific discovery in multiple areas, providing greater community understanding of complex science and a desire to preserve the GBR for future generations.
