Studies have been made on thermal denaturation of rhodopsin in hotoreceptive membranes of retinal rods of some Japan Sea fishes--Podthecus sp., Enophrys diceraus, Myoxocephalus stelleri, Pleurogrammus monopterygius, Sebastichthys trivittatus, Pheumatophorus japonicus, Gadus morhua, Theragia chaloogramma, Eleginus gracilis and Lepidopsetta herzensteini. It was shown that visual pigments of the species studied significantly differ in their thermostability, whereas with respect to their spectral properties they are rather similar (absorbtion maxima lie near 500 nm). Positive correlation between the thermostability level of rhodopsins and the environmental temperature of the species was found.
对一些日本海鱼类——Podthecus sp.、双角杜父鱼、斯特勒氏杜父鱼、单鳍多线鱼、三线矶鲈、日本鲭、大西洋鳕鱼、细纹狮子鱼、细鳞壮鳕、赫氏高眼鲽视网膜视杆感光膜中视紫红质的热变性进行了研究。结果表明，所研究物种的视觉色素在热稳定性上有显著差异，而在光谱特性方面它们相当相似（吸收最大值位于500nm附近）。发现视紫红质的热稳定性水平与物种的环境温度之间存在正相关。
