Oceanography | Marine Science and Ocean Stories

Toothfish, Climate Genomics, and the Southern Ocean

43 min7 oktober 2025

Antarctic fish evolved for an ocean near freezing. Marine biologist Dr. Jilda Alicia Caccavo explores pelagic notothenioids, including commercially fished toothfish and the icefish known for colorless blood. Learn how antifreeze proteins and genomic traits support life in the Southern Ocean, how climate genomics reveals population vulnerability, and why changing ocean conditions should inform Antarctic fisheries management.
