"Accessory corner cones"as putative UV-sensitive photoreceptors in the retinas of seven adult nototheniid fishes

We describe "accessory corner cones" contained in the retinas of sevenspecies of Antarctic adult nototheniid fishes (Nototheniidae, Perciformes)and suggest, on the basis of morphology, that they are UV-sensitivephotoreceptors. The potential significance of the presence of UV-sensitivityin...
