Thin tough skin, slow-growing gills protect larval Antarctic fish

larval fish until 84 days after hatching, the researchers found. Adult values weren't reached for 147 days.

"Amazingly," DeVries said, "for about three months the larval fish must rely only on their skin and gills to prevent ice from entering, and to keep them from freezing solid."
