2. Research on cavefish is a cross-disciplinary subject involving systematics, ecology, physiology, and conservation biology.At present, the study mainly focuses on evolution.

洞穴鱼类学是一门交叉科学, 研究涉及系统学、生态学、生理学、保护生物学等众多学科领域, 但目前研究仍多围绕演化问题展开。

3. At least some of the mutations responsible for this loss of vision differed between the 29 populations of cavefish known to exist.

目前现存的29种洞穴鱼，其眼盲亦与这些突变有关，但是其基因突变的位置并不相同。
