Ice Fish: How They Obtain Oxygen Through Unique Adaptations in Antarctic Waters
Icefish obtain oxygen by using their clear blood. They circulate this blood more frequently than red-blooded fish. Their cardiovascular systems are adapted for higher oxygen absorption. This allows icefish to thrive in cold, oxygen-rich waters in extreme Antarctic environments, enhancing their survival strategy. Another intriguing adaptation is their antifreeze glycoproteins. These proteins prevent ice crystals … Read more
