The effects of elevated temperature and ocean acidification on the metabolic pathways of notothenioid fish

Organisms inhabiting the sub-zero waters surrounding Antarctica display remarkably narrow tolerances for environmental change. This study assessed three closely related fish exposed to simultaneous changes in oceanic conditions to ascertain the impact additive stress has on their capacity to acclima...

Description
Summary:Organisms inhabiting the sub-zero waters surrounding Antarctica display remarkably narrow tolerances for environmental change. This study assessed three closely related fish exposed to simultaneous changes in oceanic conditions to ascertain the impact additive stress has on their capacity to acclimate and whether or not these fish employ similar metabolic responses.
