The influence of environmental temperature on the thermal tolerance of Antarctic notothenioid fishes
The evolution of the Antarctic notothenioid fishes in the chronically cold waters of the Southern Ocean has resulted in a remarkably narrow thermal tolerance shared among most extant species. While most of these fishes have the capacity to accommodate the physiological challenges of low …

Antifreeze Glycoproteins of Two Unrelated Polar Fishes: Gene Structure, Organization and Evolution
… data indicate the near-identical AFGPs of Antarctic notothenioids and northern cods evolved independently.

Language like behavior in protein secondary structure and analysis of mitochondrial genomes and transposable elements in Antarctic notothenioid fishes
… potential role of components of the genomes of Antarctic notothenioids: mitochondrial genomes and transposable elements (TEs) in their adaptation to extreme cold temperatures of Southern Ocean. For mitochondrial genomes, I assembled and annotated five Antarctic notothenioid genomes, including …

Analysis of the antifreeze glycoprotein containing genomic locus in the Antarctic notothenioid fish dissostichus mawsoni
Development of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) circa 25 mya resulted in cooling of the high latitude waters of the Southern Ocean to a chilly -1.86 °C (near the freezing point of seawater) and extinction of most of the late Eocene temperate fish fauna. A notothenioid ancestral stock …

Behavioral freeze avoidance in an Antarctic fish
Freeze avoidance is vital for the survival of Antarctic notothenioid fishes inhabiting the ice-laden waters of the high-latitude Southern Ocean. Most notothenioids avoid freezing primarily by the action of their blood-borne antifreeze glycoproteins (AFGPs). AFGPs arrest the growth of environmental …
