NOTOTHENIOID FISHES FROM THE WEDDELL SEA AND THEIR HABITAT, OBSERVED BY UNDERWATER PHOTOGRAPHY AND TELEVISION (Twelfth Symposium on Polar Biology)
About 3000 photographs and 21 hours of video were used to analyze and describe the habitat and some peculiarities of the behavior of high Antarctic notothenioid fish. These direct observations were made during three cruises of the German research vessel "POLARSTERN" to the shelf of the Wed...

About 3000 photographs and 21 hours of video were used to analyze and describe the habitat and some peculiarities of the behavior of high Antarctic notothenioid fish. These direct observations were made during three cruises of the German research vessel "POLARSTERN" to the shelf of the Weddell Sea (ANT III, 1984/85; ANT VI, 1987/88; ANT VII, 1988/89). Operating depth of the vehicles was between 100 and 1200m. In total, 987 specimens of more than 20 fish species were identified. The total area observed at 98 stations was estimated as 3000m^2 for the photographs and 12300m^2 for the video.
