Antarctic environments are characterised with potentially high levels of ultraviolet radiation (UVR) damaging to living organisms. Aquatic organisms have different strategies to minimise their negative effects, e.g. behavioural (migrating to deeper aquatic layers) or biochemical (photoprotection or...
