The relationships between habitat depth, eye diameter relative to body length and the dimensions of rhabdoms and crystalline cones were examined for 13 spp. of 3 oceanic euphausiid genera [Euphausia superba, E. pacifica, E. gibboides, Thysanopoda cristata, T. tricuspidata, T. aequalis, T. monacantha, T. orientalis, T. pectinata, T. acutifrons, T. cornuta, T. egregia and Bentheuphausia amblyops] with habitats ranging from near-surface waters to the deep-sea. Rate of eye growth decreases with depth. Longer rhabdoms may increase the visual sensitivity to point and extended light sources by an eye of a particular size with depth. Larger interommatidial angle suggest that visual acuity decreases at depth. Depth-related changes in euphausiid eyes are considered with respect to the probable roles of vision and bioluminescence in the deep-sea. Unusual features of the eyes of several species are described.
