Why does the archer fish need to know about refraction?

The archer fish needs to understand refraction to accurately shoot jets of water at insects above the water's surface.

By compensating for this optical effect, the archer fish can adjust its aim to hit targets accurately, ensuring successful hunting. This ability highlights the fish's remarkable adaptation to its environment.
