The Antarctic silverfish (Pleuragramma antarctica) is a species of notothen native to the Southern Ocean and the only truly pelagic fish in the waters near Antarctica.[3] It is a keystone species in the ecosystem of the Southern Ocean.[3]

While widely distributed around the Antarctic, the species appears to have largely disappeared from the western side of the northern Antarctic Peninsula, based on a 2010 research cruise funded by the National Science Foundation under the US Antarctic Program.[4]

Description

Antarctic silverfish usually grow to about {{convert|15|cm|in|abbr=on}} in length, with a maximum of {{convert|25|cm|in|abbr=on}}. When alive, they are pink with a silver tint, but turn silver only after death.[5] This Antarctic marine fish is one of several in the region that produce antifreeze glycopeptides as an adaptation against the extreme cold of Antarctic waters.[6]

Ecology

The postlarvae, {{convert|8|–|17|mm|in|abbr=on}} in size, feed on eggs of calanoids (Calanoida), sea snails Limacina and tintinnids (Tintinnida).[7] Juveniles feeds on copepods (Copepoda), mostly on Oncaea curvata.[7]

Antarctic silverfish are an important prey species for high trophic animals, such as the Adelie penguin and the Weddell seal.
