Properties of cones used in the spectral model

Index (i) Opsin Cone Type Gene Peak Wavelength, nm Relative Semisaturation, log(k)
1 UV UV SWS1 358 0.00
2 B1 Blue SWS2 415 0.00
3 B2 Blue Not known 440 0.50
4 G1 Green RH2-1/RH2-2 460 0.00
5 G3 Green RH2-3 480 1.00
6 R2 Red LWS2 556 1.00
7 R1 Red LWS1 575 1.00

k, Semisaturation irradiance. The opsins listed correspond to the seven physiological opsins identified in zebrafish retina. Two opsin types were reported in red cones (R1, R2), two in green cones (G1, G3), two in blue cones (B1, B2), and one physiological opsin observed in ultraviolet (UV) cones. i refers to cone number in the model (as in Eq. 1).
