Where do ice fish live?

Ice fish are found in freezing Antarctic waters, where the temperatures are always below the freezing point of fresh water. They are specialized species that have adapted to survive in these harsh conditions. They produce antifreeze proteins that prevent their blood from freezing and have high levels of omega-3 fatty acids that help maintain their cell membrane fluidity. Ice fish also have a slower metabolism and can survive longer without food compared to other fish. These unique adaptations allow them to thrive in the cold waters of Antarctica.
