Does Fish From the Disko Bay area . . .

The blood of 21 teleosts and 1 elasmobranch was analysed for antifreeze-protein activity by determining the thermal hysteresis. The fish were caught in the summertime at different locations in West Greenland (Disko Bay area). The difference between the melting and hysteresis freezing point (thermal...

Description
Summary:The blood of 21 teleosts and 1 elasmobranch was analysed for antifreeze-protein activity by determining the thermal hysteresis. The fish were caught in the summertime at different locations in West Greenland (Disko Bay area). The difference between the melting and hysteresis freezing point (thermal hysteresis) is a numerical indication of the presence of antifreeze-protein activity. No thermal
