Best Answer

As a part of adaptation for the means of survival. It is basically camouflage. From the bottom it is difficult to see because it blends in with the light penetrated water above and from the top it blends in with the dark water below. Excellent for hunting and avoiding being hunted.

SO you cant see them from the top and they camouflage in the water, but white from the bottom, so it attracts the fish, that's what i think...
