lautnusantara.com Halibut fish are large flatfish that live on the seabed, especially in the North Pacific and North Atlantic Oceans. They are known for their large size, delicious meat, and high nutritional value. Halibut fish do have their own uniqueness with two colors on their bodies, which are not only visually appealing, but also have an important function in their survival. Here is a further explanation:

1. Smart Camouflage Adaptation:

• The dark color on the upper side of the halibut's body serves as effective camouflage. When viewed from above, this color blends with the dark seabed, such as sand, mud, or rocks. This helps them hide from predators and prey.
• Conversely, the white color on the lower side of their bodies serves as camouflage when viewed from below. This color blends with the light coming in from the surface of the water, making them difficult to see by predators swimming below.
• Thus, halibut fish have the ability to camouflage themselves from various angles, increasing their chances of survival.

 2. Amazing Eye Changes:

• As larvae, halibut have symmetrical eyes on both sides of their bodies. However, as they grow, one of their eyes moves to the same side as the other.
• This allows adult halibut to swim with one side of their body flat against the ocean floor, while keeping both eyes facing upward to survey their surroundings.
• This change is a remarkable adaptation to life on the ocean floor, allowing them to hunt and evade predators more efficiently.

3. Color Variations:

• Although generally dark on top and white on the bottom, halibut can vary in color depending on their habitat and environment.
• Some halibut may have additional patterns or spots, further enhancing their camouflage.

The unique coloration and adaptations of halibut eyes are a fascinating example of how marine animals adapt to their environment. They also remind us of the diversity and wonder of life under the sea.
