The ocellated icefish (Chionodraco rastrospinosus) is a fish of the family Channichthyidae. [3] [4] It lives in the cold waters off Antarctica and is known for having transparent haemoglobin-free blood. [5] [6] C. rastrospinosus live in the Southern Ocean up to a depth of 1 km. They are most commonly found on the seabed at 200–400 m.
Chionodraco was first described as a genus in 1905 by the Swedish zoologist Einar Lönnberg when he described the Chaenichthys hamatus which he subsequently placed in a new monotypic genus.

All icefish are believed to be piscivorous, but can also feed on krill. [10] Icefish are typically ambush predators; thus, they can survive long periods between feeding, and often consume fish up to 50% of their own body length.

Ocellated Icefish. On February 12, 2013, the ocellated icefish (Chionodraco rastrospinosus) spawned in captivity for the first time on record. About 500 eggs, each with a diameter of about 4.5 mm, were laid.
The spiny icefish is native to the Southern Ocean where it occurs in a circum-Antarctic distribution, with the northernmost records from the South Orkney Islands. [5] It is a benthopelagic species which lives at depths of up to 800 m (2620 ft), [1] however, it is common in the shallower waters of the continental shelf, especially on banks less than 250 m (820 ft) deep.
