We collect them to go into the aquarium where they are used to address the question
We kept our animals in enormous aquariums until we needed them for research. One of the research questions we address is the temperature range these animals could withstand so they are taken to their thermal limits and weighed wet and dry. Normally the temperature in the waters around Antarctica is a very stable low temperature (-1.8 to 2 degrees Celsius). It is important to explore whether animals can adapt to higher temperatures because of global warming.
