Ecomorphological Differentiation of Feeding Structures within the Antarctic Fish Species Flock Trematominae (Notothenioidei) from Terra Nova Bay (Ross Sea) [PDF]
The Antarctic endemic fish genus Trematomus (Trematominae, Notothenioidei) includes 15 species very diverse in morphology, lifestyle and feeding ecology. Co-occurring on the continental shelf, they occupy different habitats and a wide range of ecological

Abstract The notothenioid family Bathydraconidae is a poorly understood family of fishes endemic to the Southern Ocean. There is especially little information on Akarotaxis nudiceps, one of the deepest‐dwelling and least fecund bathydraconid species. Using genetic and morphological data, we document and describe the larval stages of this unique species,

Gelatinous zooplankton (GZP), i.e., ctenophores, cnidarian medusae, chaetognaths, appendicularians and salps, are considered climate change winners. This becomes particularly obvious in the Southern Ocean, which has undergone a significant shift from a ...

Laser microdissection-based analysis of the Y sex chromosome of the Antarctic fish Chionodraco hamatus (Notothenioidei, Channichthyidae) [PDF]
Microdissection, DOP-PCR amplification and microcloning were used to study the large Y chromosome of Chionodraco hamatus, an Antarctic fish belonging to the Notothenioidei, the dominant component of the Southern Ocean fauna.

Cytogenetic diversity in the Antarctic plunderfishes (Notothenioidei: Artedidraconidae) [PDF]
AbstractAntarctic plunderfishes (Notothenioidei, Artedidraconidae) are important components of the Southern Ocean fish fauna. As a contribution to the Victoria Land Transect Project, we performed a cytogenetic analysis of six species from three of the four artedidraconid genera,Artedidraco glareobarbatus,A. orianae,A. skottsbergi,A.

The complete mitochondrial genome of Chionodraco hamatus (Notothenioidei: Channichthyidae) with phylogenetic consideration [PDF]
The complete mitochondrial genome of Chionodraco hamatus was obtained, which was 17 457 bp in length. This genome consists of 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes and a putative control region. Of the 37 genes, 28 were encoded by heavy strand, while 9 were encoded by light strand.

Multiple Pathways of Visual Adaptations for Water Column Usage in an Antarctic Adaptive Radiation. [PDF]
By investigating the diversification of the visual system in notothenioids, we reveal lineages at equivalent depths often depict extremes in eye size with striking convergences in tuning sites between distantly related species that are likely driven by the unusual environmental conditions of the Southern Ocean.
