[ Update this Record ]

Summary
Abstract: Fish specimens of Pagothenia borchgrevinki, Dissostichus mawsoni and 4 eel-pouts, along with specimens of invertebrates including Antarctic scallops, the amphipod Orchomene plebs and the Antarctic isopod Glyptonotus antarcticus were used in experimental studies on fish muscles, colour change and chromatophores in fishes and further experiments on the photoreception in Antarctic invertebrates.

LABORATORY Ancillary Description
Quality Most of the specimens were fixed, cut, examined under the light and/or transmission electron microscope and therefore no longer available. A few collected specimens are with the investigator at Jacobs University. In addition, lots of photographs (electron micrographs of eyes and other tissues of Antarctic fishes and crustaceans) are in his collection and a few until now uncut blocs of embedded tissue samples are also still available.
