Temperature Tolerance of Some Antarctic Fishes
Abstract
Three species of Antarctic fishes which live in constantly near-freezing waters have a markedly low upper-lethal temperature of 6°C ; this is the lowest upper-lethal temperature reported for any organism. The fishes survive supercooling to —2.5°C. Data on brain metabolism in vitro support the hypothesis that the central nervous system is a primary site of thermal injury.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
