     Wearing a light blue wetsuit (潛水衣) that matches the colour of the sea will make you less likely to be attacked by a shark,according to researchers. Sharks eat meat like dolphins,seals and whales,but they are unable to distinguish between colours. They are completely colour blind and only see things clearly if their colours are mostly light or dark,scientists claimed. It is hugely beneficial to divers sailing in shark-filled waters. Costumes or wetsuits that disguise (掩蔽) swimmers’ bodies in the sea water are less likely to draw a shark's attention than ones with bright colours.

     Professor Nathan Hart,from the University of Western Australia,said,n It's the high contrast against the water that is probably attractive to sharks. So you’d better wear less bright colours or colours that match the background in the water."

     The U. S. Navy has made tests that suggested sharks were able to see yellow most clearly. The tests were to see what would be the best colour for the life jackets (救生衣) that pilots wear in case they have to splash down into the ocean. Professor Hart said it was the high degree of yellow,but not the colour itself that would increase the visibility (能見度) of sharks. He said, " It may be possible to design swimming suits and surf crafts that have a lower visual contrast (視覺對比) to sharks. Therefore they are less attractive to them."
