Hey don't cry... 60 million icefish nests in a colony twice the size of Paris discovered in the Weddell Sea in 2021 ok???
Overhead view of several crocodile icefish nests on the sea bottom. They're simple circular nests dug into the sand and most of them are guarded by one icefish each. The icefish live in Antarctica and are remarkable in that they are the only vertebrates whose adults produce no hemoglobin due to a genetic mutation. Icy water environment, unusually robust cardiovascular system and an antifreezing agent produced in their bodies are some of the factors that make their survival possible. Icefish have a tapered body with three large rayed fins, and large eyes. They are blue-ish white, and appear pearlescent and transculent, as their blood lacks the usual red colour.

Day 21: Antarctic Icefish

The icefish is a unique type of fish that swims in Antarctic waters.

Its transparent body is due to its lack of hemoglobin, the protein that delivers oxygen through our blood. This is speculated to be an adaptive trait for their frigid environment.

You aren't imagining how mild northern winters have gotten. Climate change is accelerating. Maybe conservatards will notice when there's nowhere to icefish?

Temperatures have warmed across the contiguous United States over the last five decades or so during the months of December through February (a rapidly warming season)...

Just a few years before the discovery of the Mediterranean picarel colony, another massive "fish metropolis" was found, this time in the southern Weddell Sea (Antarctica).

It was built by Neopagetopsis ionah, Jonah's icefish. And once again, the scale is absolutely crazy...

Opinion Piece Heard Island Gazette: “Nothing worse than going to the local rubbidy for a drink with what you thought was a mackerel icefish… but turns out is a Latina suckermouth catfish, who then won’t leave you alone for 30 hours and asks you to spit on her every three minutes “

The South American suckermouth catfish, also known as plecos, possess remarkable adaptations that allow them to survive out of water for extended periods. They can survive for up to 30 hours out of water as long as their skin stays moist.

I can't be the only one who looks at rocket pops and thinks "ah, red white and blue, three natural colors of blood in the animal kingdom"
A drawing, based on a package of rocket pops (goodpop brand), of three red, white, and blue popsicles. Above them is the brand (vampirepop) and the flavor (squid n' icefish n' human). To the left is text advertising "100% blood with no added sugar." To the right are three cheerful animals, each with a drop of blood: squid with blue blood, icefish with white blood, and human with red blood.
