How fishes see the color?

Is there a rigorous study about how different fishes see and react the
colors?

Check out "What fish see" & "Knowing Bass" , both get pretty in depth
into the vision of fish. "What fish see" is based more on Salmon and
Steelhead on the west coast , btu "Knowing Bass" is as the title
suggests, written from a Biologist at Pure FIshing (Berkley).

I have read them both a couple times. Very in depth, and scientific.

IN a nutshell, Bass are very sensitive to certain colors, and not as
sensitive to others. Some colors they conclude they can determine
different shades of the same color, while other colors blend in and are
either just light or dark contrasts.

Red !

The colour of blood is seen by most fish and can invoke a reaction. However, the tone
variation may make a difference.

I find that Blue Fish and Striped Bass have good sight and that's why I don't use black or
steel coloured leaders. I find a camouflaged leader works much better. Besides the weight
issue, the transition between red, clear and green helps the leader material to not be see
by blending into the background.

did you read studies about this or are your conclusions?

which transition of the leader? sorry I didn't understand

Some of these answers should put the question to rest. The answer is YES
fish see color and respond to them.

I read it when I studied ichthyology.

In my mentioning of the leader, the transition is in the colouration of the leader as a
function of legth. A one foot section of leader will not be monochrome but will transit,
with variation in tone, from clear red to clear blue to clear green. A classic camouflage
technique.
