In this chapter, we cover the life history of fish in low-temperature environments, including their overwintering behavior and the physiological mechanisms by which they maintain life in cold environments, based on research to date. There is relatively little research on low-temperature tolerance of fish, compared with research on this phenomenon in mammals and birds, which are also vertebrates, and the mechanisms in fish have not been fully elucidated. First, we cover the life history of fish that overwinter by entering dormancy or hibernation. Next, we describe the mechanism that controls body temperature in fish that survive low-temperature environments. Finally, we introduce the physiological mechanisms for survival in extremely low-temperature environments, particularly antifreeze proteins.
在这一章中，我们根据目前的研究，介绍了鱼类在低温环境中的生活史，包括它们的越冬行为以及在寒冷环境中维持生命的生理机制。与鱼类相比，对鱼类低温耐受性的研究相对较少，鱼类是脊椎动物，哺乳动物和鸟类的相关研究较多，鱼类的机制尚未完全阐明。首先，我们介绍了通过进入休眠或冬眠来越冬的鱼类的生活史。接下来，我们描述了控制在低温环境中生存的鱼类体温的机制。最后，我们介绍了在极低温度环境中生存的生理机制，特别是抗冻蛋白。
