Abstract

The visual threshold for food-location in the antarctic fish Pagothenia borchgrevinki, is compared with light conditions and food availability under the ice. Even under the most favourable conditions for vision, P. borchgrevinki is operating close to its visual threshold and must often depend on non-visual mechanisms of prey detection.
