Most of the fish in Antarctica belong to the Notothenioidea group. There are four types of fish in this group including the Antarctic cod, the Dragon fish, the Plunder fish, and the Ice fish. Out of these four, the Ice fish is the most unusual because of how it has evolved to survive in the harsh, icy waters of the Antarctic. This cold blooded fish lacks haemoglobin, the red pigment found in blood which transports oxygen throughout the body. Instead, the oxygen is carried in the plasma. The absence of haemoglobin in its blood allows the Ice fish to produce more glycoprotein, a chemical which acts as a type of anti-freeze in the fish's blood, preventing them from freezing.
Other fish in the Antarctic include the eel-pout, tooth fish, and snail-fish.
