The Antarctic cod, or Notothenia rossii, has adapted to the extreme cold of the Southern Ocean by developing antifreeze glycoproteins in its blood, which prevent ice crystal formation. Additionally, its body has evolved a more streamlined shape and reduced swim bladder, allowing for better buoyancy in the frigid waters. These adaptations enable the Antarctic cod to thrive in an environment where most other fish cannot survive due to the harsh temperatures.
