Language: Danish; French; Mandarin Chinese; Russian; Spanish

Wikipedia Abstract

Pleuragramma antarcticum, the Antarctic silverfish, is a species of cod icefish native to the Southern Ocean. Pleuragramma antarcticum is a keystone species in the ecosystem of the Southern Ocean. 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.
