And here is a short video of the Toothfish swimming!
I am a graduate student at Portland State University on my first research expedition to Antarctica. I am stationed at McMurdo station on Ross Island. Our research is focused on examining how temperature affects biological processes using the cold adapted Antarctic fish as our model organisms. I will be updating my blog as often as possible with stories and pictures of both the science and the non-science activities that we are involved in.

Wednesday, November 14, 2012
Well, today was a weather day so we were inside all day. I don't have any picture from today, but I do have some more great pictures and a video of the beautiful, incredible and rare Antarctic Toothfish in the Crary lab. I won't get on a soap box and tell you all about the commercial fishery that is regulated by CCAMLR again. If you need a refresher, please feel free to re-read my post from the other day. Today, I will just post a video and some pictures for you to enjoy. In these, there are some "borks" in the tank as well. I hope that helps to give you an idea of how big this fish is!
