FIELD READ
Colour is still meaningful here
Next test: change one variable at a time.
Depth
Light is progressively removed as it travels through water. In relatively clear water, longer red wavelengths commonly attenuate faster than blue-green wavelengths.
Water
Tannins, algae and suspended sediment alter colour transmission and scatter, so no one loss curve applies to every waterbody.
Light
Low available light compresses hue and reflective flash, which can shift the useful signal toward contrast and silhouette.
Model limits
This is an educational spectral-visibility approximation. It compares relative red, green and blue attenuation, ambient water colour, turbidity, depth and available light. It is not a direct measurement of a specific waterbody and does not claim to reproduce what any fish species sees.
