Antarctic Icefish is a largely endemic, dominant fish in the cold continental waters surrounding Antarctica. Majority of the Antarctic Icefish live at seawater temperature -2 and 4 degree centigrades but some of the sub polar species inhabit waters that may be as warm as 10 degree centigrades around New Zealand and South America.

Antarctic Icefish have evolved a variety of interesting physiological and biochemical adaptations with which they can survive in cold and stable seawater temperatures of Southern Ocean, many being able to survive in the freezing and ice-laden waters. Most notable physiological aspect of Antarctic Icefish is they have only 1% hemoglobin unlike other animal species that have up to 45% hemoglobin in their blood. They can survive without large parts of hemoglobin due to high oxygen contents of cold waters of southern ocean and also due to the fact that oxygen is absorbed and distributed directly by the plasma. Antarctic Icefish is considered to the only marine fish species flock.
