The fish can live without hemoglobin via low metabolic rates and the high solubility of oxygen in water at the low temperatures of their environment (the solubility of a gas tends to increase as temperature decreases). [2] However, the oxygen-carrying capacity of icefish blood is less than 10% that of their relatives with hemoglobin. [16]
The blackfin icefish belongs to Notothenioidei, a suborder of fishes that accounts for 90% of the fish fauna on the Antarctic continental shelf. [3] Icefishes, also called white-blooded fishes, are a unique family in that they are the only known vertebrates to lack haemoglobin , making their blood oxygen carrying capacity just 10% that of other ...
Pond loaches are bottom-dwelling omnivores, feeding mainly on algae or scavenging organic materials, and may also eat on tubifex worms and other small aquatic invertebrates. Pond loaches are very hardy fish that can live in poor-quality water, and can survive short periods of drought by producing a layer of moisture-trapping mucus to keep ...

Many varieties of fish, particularly cold-water oily fish like salmon, are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, “healthy” fats that support heart, brain and eye health.
The Chinese rice fish (Oryzias sinensis) is a species of fish in the genus Oryzias. This freshwater fish occurs in swamps, stagnant parts of streams, rice fields and marshes, and is up to 3.1 cm (1.2 in) long. [2] It was formerly considered a subspecies of the Japanese rice fish (Oryzias latipes). [1]
High lipid content and porous bones result in an almost neutral buoyancy [8] and lack of swim bladder allows the fish to tolerate varying pressure extremes as they move through the water column. Over a third of the body weight (38.9%) of C. baikalensis is oil, but C. dybowskii contains far less (4.7%). [ 9 ]
