The extensive in vivo conversion of haemoglobin to the carbon monoxide derivative has no discernible effect on the survival of the red-blooded Antarctic fish Pagothenia bernacchii. Analysis of caudally sampled blood of cannulated specimens revealed that reconversion of carbon-monoxy haemoglobin to oxyhaemoglobin was complete within 48 hours. Thus, under stress-free conditions, haemoglobin is not necessary for survival of P. bernacchii. Red-blooded Antarctic fishes can carry oxygen necessary for routine delivery dissolved in plasma, in a similar way to the haemoglobinless Channichthyidae, although they lack the morphological and physiological adaptations which allow the latter to prosper without any haemoglobin.
