Underwater communication and optical camouflage of marine animals

Abstract

Due of its lack of specificity, camouflage is pelagic and extremely difficult in various situations. As a result, pelagic have evolved incredibly advanced stealth techniques, three of which—transparency, reflections, and backlight—are uncommon or nonexistent in other habitats. Pelagic display systems are equally complicated, and they have many display capabilities like polarized sensitivity and optical filters, as well as UV and other display capabilities. It was believed that camouflage made animals easier to spot. This article discusses optics in the pelagic zone and examines its residents' use of camouflage and camouflage gear. Primarily the fundamental ideas, with a more emphasis on what needs to be learned. Their operation is generally non-disruptive because it is well-known. The rarity of behavioral observations is an anomaly.
