Notothenia Rossii

The influence of photoperiod on the ability of Notothenia rossii Richardson, 1844 to detect prey was studied experimentally. In 12L/12D there was the highest number of individuals stimulated visually and chemically while in 24D chemical perception was the same as that observed in 12L/12D, the latter being lower than in 24L. The ultrastructure of chemo- and photo-sensory structures, involved in the detection of food, was studied. The photoreceptor cells of the retina are single and double cones, and rods. Taste buds were concentrated in the central part of upper and lower lips. Their shape is even, but the size is variable. The olfactory rosette has a sensory and a non-sensory epithelium, being rich in different mucosubstances. The conclusion was that in different photoperiods there is a difference in the response to visual and chemical stimulation for prey detection and that all sensory systems are more stimulated in periods of more luminosity, mainly when there is an alternation between light and dark periods. Sensory organs are complex when compared to some other Antarctic fish such as Gobionotothen gibberifrons Lönnberg, 1905 and Ophthalmolycus amberensis Tomo, Marshoff & Torno, 1977 but similar to those of N. coriiceps Rchardson, 1844.

Scanning Electron

During winter research cruises to South Georgia (1983 and 1993) fish eggs were abundant in the neuston. Examination of the external sculpturing and the micropyle morphology of the eggs collected during 1993 using scanning electron microscopy indicated that these were fertilized ova of Notothenia rossii marmorata. A comparison between the eggs of N. rossii from Iles Kerguelen and South Georgia showed these to have a similar surface morphology but a difference in the structure of the micropyle. In 1993, the abundance of fish eggs in the neuston varied from 0-116 eggs m−3 with an average of 4.5 eggs m−3. During 1983, eggs were most abundant in the neuston but at lower average levels (0.04 eggs m−3, range 0–1.17 eggs m−3) and these were distributed from the surface to >380 m.

Nototheniid Fish

Reaction to the presence of prey, after visual stimulation, was tested in the Antarctic nototheniid fish Notothenia neglecta Nybelin under four different simulated Antarctic seasons - photoperiods of 24 hours light, 22 light/2 darkness, 12 light/12 darkness, and 24 hours darkness. Live Lepidonotothen nudifrons were used for visual stimulation, with exclusion of chemical and mechanical signals. The photoperiod showed significant correlation with the number of individuals stimulated and with the latency time of the first response to the presence of prey, but not with the number of attacks or pursuits. However, there were more pursuits in darkness than in light. Notothenia neglecta presumably perceive a large spectrum of wavelengths, because they had the shortest reaction time under red light, used to simulate darkness. The tests proved that N. neglecta are capable of detecting prey using only vision, in all seasons of the year, but that the optimal reactions occur in a photoperiod corresponding to the Antarctic autumn or spring.
