INSUFFICIENT LEANING
Recorded sources
3 sources for · 0 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that Goldfish can see in the dark thanks to rod cells in their retinas?

Unclear. The retrieved items only partially support the claim: one peer-reviewed study confirms goldfish retinas contain rod cells whose signals are boosted at night, and general references note that fish retinas have rods for low-light vision. No item directly establishes that goldfish can see in the dark.
