In spectral sensitivity studies, electroretinograms (ERG) were recorded from the in situ eyecup of immobilized perch (Perca fluviatilis) electrofished in the floodplain zone of the Danube River. It is shown that the ERG b-wave is a good indicator of spectral sensitivity, although it reflects the activity of photoreceptors indirectly. With a maximum around 542 mm, the scotopic spectral sensitivity of perch obtained using fitted amplitude-log intensity functions for threshold calculation and two models developed in our laboratory for computer-assisted fitting of spectral sensitivity curves did not differ from the sensitivity determined using the microspectrophotometric and isolated pigment methods (maximum around 541 nm).
