The skin color of fish is used to demystify human skin pigmentation. As revealed by studies, a fish skin color is influenced by both genetics and the environment. For example, the skin pigmentation of fish exposed to a more saline environment and fed saltier food is different compared to fish exposed to a lower concentration of salt. Based on years of studying fish skin color, it can be deduced that the variety of human skin pigment is also influenced by genetics plus the environment.
