KeywordTaxonomy (OLD)Science|Biology|NotesBiological adaptation of fishes to low temperatures will be studied again by scientists from the Zoological Department of the University of Auckland. This year the team to be led by Professor Rufus Wells will comprise Dr John Macdonald and three graduate students Heather McNeil| Nicholas Ling and Andreas Rieckenback. Working initially from the fish hut 1500metres south of Scott Base the team will focus on the viscosity of fish body fluids at sub-zero temperatures| buoyancy control of fishes in cold water and the control of heart beats offish living at -1.8 deg C. The team is due to return to Christchurch after six or eight weeks on the ice but Professor Wells and Dr Montgomery may return for a second trip later in the season to carry out further work at Cape Royds| Lake Fryxell and Terra Nova Bay before returning to Christchurch in mid-January. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bald_notothen
