title: The feeding response of Pseudophycas barbata to multisensory prey cues in a low light environment.
abstract: The nocturnal southern bastard cod Pseudophycis barbata was found to utilize chemo- and mechanosensory systems when hunting for prey under low light conditions. The sensory system used depended on whether prey produced a hydrodynamic signal.
