- Abstract
The article presents information on several Antarctic expeditions concerning ichthyology. The first Antarctic fishes reported, were collected at Kerguelen Island during the expedition of the EREBUS and TERROR under scientist James Clark Ross from 1839-1843. The first reported sighting of a fish from the Antarctic Circle was also made during this expedition. The CHALLENGER expedition from 1872-1876 collected and researched fishes at Kerguelen, Marion, and Prince Edward Islands. The SOUTHERN CROSS expedition from 1899-1900 explored in the areas of EREBUS and TERROR and provided numerous biological collections. The Swedish South Polar Expedition from 1901-1904 collected research information from South Georgia and along the Antarctic Peninsula.
