Abstract
The article discusses a study on sensory constraints in temporal segregation in two species of anglerfish, namely, Lophius (L.) piscatorius and L. budegassa. The study procedure included morphological measurements of the sensory organs of 137 L. piscatorius and 274 L. budegassa, and the removal of the otolith sagittae. The differences between the timing of maximum activity of the two species had a consistency to the differences between their eye size and otolith weight. The article also offers information on the evolution of the visual systems of organisms.
