Physiological adaptation to increased environmental temperatures has been studied experimentally in a number of fish species, with the up-regulation of several genes identified as being associated with the process, such as the warm-acclimated protein (wap65). This article describes the cloning and characterisation of the wap65-2 gene from the Antarctic plunderfish (Harpagifer antarcticus). The transcriptional expression of this gene in response to elevated seawater temperatures over a time course series is presented. Initially there is strong down-regulation of this gene to a maximum of 40-fold within 4 h, followed by recovery to almost control levels within 48 h, indicating that this gene does not play a role in the potential temperature adaptation of H. antarcticus.

Article Synopsis
- Understanding the fish gut microbiome is complex, but closely related species can help reveal how host evolutionary history influences microbiome development, particularly through patterns of phylosymbiosis and co-phylogeny.
- A study on four plunderfish species in the Southern Ocean found that factors like seawater properties, host evolutionary history, and geographical distribution explained 35% of variations in their gut microbiomes.
- The research shows a significant link between fish evolutionary history and their gut microbiome, emphasizing the role of symbiotic relationships and suggesting that recent diversification in these fish may have contributed to the diversification of their associated microbes.

The Antarctic whitefin plunderfish Pogonophryne albipinna belongs to the family Artedidraconidae, a key component of Antarctic benthic ecosystems within the order Perciformes and the suborder Notothenioidei. While genome research on P. albipinna using short-read sequencing is available, high-quality genome assembly and annotation employing long-read sequencing have yet to be performed.

Antarctic notothenioid fishes show wide adaptive morphological radiation, linked to habitat preferences and food composition. However, direct comparisons of phenotypic variability and feeding habits are still lacking, particularly in stages inhabiting nearshore areas. To assess these relationships, we collected juveniles and adults of the most common benthic species inhabiting shallow waters off the South Shetland Islands within a similar size range, the plunderfish Harpagifer antarcticus, the black rockcod Notothenia coriiceps, and the marbled rockcod Notothenia rossii.

Global warming is having a significant impact around the world, modifying environmental conditions in many areas, including in zones that have been thermally stable for thousands of years, such as Antarctica. Stenothermal sedentary intertidal fish species may suffer due to warming, notably if this causes water freshening from increased freshwater inputs. Acute decreases in salinity, from 33 down to 5, were used to assess osmotic responses to environmental salinity fluctuations in Antarctic spiny plunderfish Harpagifer antarcticus, in particular to evaluate if H.

This paper continues descriptions of new deep-water Antarctic barbeled plunderfishes of the poorly known and the most speciose notothenioid genus Pogonophryne. It is based on a comprehensive collection obtained by the authors in 2009-2010 during an Antarctic toothfish (Dissostichus mawsoni) fishing trip. A new species, the hopbeard plunderfish Pogonophryne neyelovi, the twenty-second species of the genus, is described.
