Full description

Tissues of the Antarctic notothenioid fish (Chaenocephalus aceratus, Champsocephalus gunnari and Gobionotothen gibberifrons) and extracts of Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) and phytoplankton were examined for Vitamin E content.Notothenioid fish specimens were captured from depths of 80-200 m using benthic Otter trawls in Dallmann Bay in the vicinity of Astrolabe Needle off the Antarctic Peninsula. Samples of white (glycolytic) myotomal skeletal muscle, oxidative skeletal muscle (pectoral adductor profundus), liver, spleen and gonadal tissue were quickly excised, blotted and weighed.
