- “Isaac Asomov’s Book of Facts” ISBN 0-8038-9347-7, page 126 says that there is only one species of fish with white blood. Which species, the damn book doesn’t say; only says “Antarctic species”. I can’t think of any vertebrate with white blood, making this not only the only fish with white blood, but also the only vertebrate as such. Anybody know what the species is? - MC

It’s this guy’s field of freakin’ study, but he doesn’t name the species. Perhaps he’d like e-mail…
I had fish when I was a kid. Once they came down with “ick”. What’s the actual name of the disease? Probably “ichthyo-something”.
I don’t know the name, either.
But, I did see a special on DSC or PBS about Antarctica, and they showed a fish who has some type of “anti-freeze” in its system.
Wonder if that’s the same critter.

Marge: Your father is… resting.
Bart: “Resting” hung over? “Resting” got fired? Help me out here.
Oh, and Johnny, here’s a good description of “Ich”.
I don’t think the extended name was in the link provided by Alphagene.
It is Ichthyophthirius Multifiliis.

Ok, in the absence of hemoglobin, how do they transport O2?

In humans, blood with the red cells removed is clear and slighly yellowish
