A perch is more likely to detect a predator approaching from a distance through its keen sense of vision rather than smell.

While they do have a sense of smell that helps them detect chemicals in the water, vision plays a more crucial role in recognizing potential threats from afar.
Would a perch first see or smell a predator approaching from distance?
A perch is more likely to detect a predator approaching from a distance through its keen vision rather than its sense of smell. Fish, including perch, have well-developed eyesight that allows them to spot movement and shapes in the water.
