The effect of acute and chronic elevation of temperature on aspects of the physiology of Antarctic nototheniid fishes
The notothenioid fishes, which dominate the upper shelf habitats of the Antarctic Continental Shelf, have evolved in a relatively thermally stable environment for at least 10-15 million years. With the upper lethal limits of these fishes around 4-6°C and the lower limits set by the freezing point of...
