The potential significance of the presence of UV-sensitivity in Antarctic fish is that it might increase foraging efficiency by enhancing the contrast of important prey. Krill (Euphausia superba), for example, are probably silhouetted against UV-background space light during the Antarctic summer.}, pages = {628--632}, title = {"Accessory corner cones"as putative UV-sensitive photoreceptors in the retinas of seven adult nototheniid fishes}, volume = {24}, year = {2001} }
