Abstract Fast-start performance associated with escape behaviour was investigated in the sub-Antarctic noto-thenioid Eleginops maclovinus from the Beagle Channel, Tierra del Fuego, Argentina (mean winter water temper-ature 4C, mean summer water temperature 10C). Fish acclimated to 8.5C for 2 months...
