Amphibious vision in Coryphoblennius galerita L. (Perciformes).
The morphology of the ophthalmic cornea in the blenniid fish Coryphoblennius galerita (Teleostei) shows adaptation to the amphibious life. Amphibious vision is provided by a flattened area within the cornea. Eyes of other, non-amphibious blenniids are compared with those of C. galerita.
