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 |

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).
