During the expedition of Alexander Agassiz which began in 1877, he investigated many living organisms in the sea. The amount of information he gathered rivaled the great Challenger Expedition. He gathered sample of animals from 180 to 4240 meters.
In addition to this he also noticed that brightly colored animals typically resided near the surface while organisms in the deeper part of the ocean tended to have the colors of blue and greens and at even lower depths, red and black. He determined that the colors of the organisms corresponded to different wavelengths of light and their corresponding depths.
