Hello
I recently read that the antarctic crocodile icefish (Channichthyidae) has colourless blood because it lacks haemoglobin. Apparently it can transport large amounts of oxygen around the blood in dissolved form because of its low body temperature (-1.8 to 2 degrees C).
I was just after an explanation of this? What law(s) of physics state(s) that a gas is more soluble at lower temperatures?
Regards
Louis
