The adaptation of polar fishes to climatic changes: Structure, function and phylogeny of haemoglobin
Abstract In the Antarctic, fishes of dominant suborder Notothenioidei have evolved in a unique thermal scenario. Phylogenetically related taxa of the suborder live in a wide range of latitudes, in Antarctic, sub‐Antarctic and temperate oceans. Consequently, they offer a remarkable opportunity to stu...

Abstract In the Antarctic, fishes of dominant suborder Notothenioidei have evolved in a unique thermal scenario.
