The capacity of Antarctic fishes to resist freezing in ice-laden                seawater at temperatures well below the normal freezing point of body           fluids represents one of the major adaptations to polar conditions.             DeVries plans to lead an interdisciplinary team in studies on the               function of antifreezes in preventing the propogation of ice crystals in        the intestinal fluid, the biophysics of antifreeze-ice interactions, and        the molecular biology and organization of the antifreeze genes.  The            nature of the mechanisms which provide freezing resistance are of great         evolutionary and ecological importance.  In addition, continued studies         of the antifreeze system should reveal new aspects of ice-crystal growth        which could have implications for crystallography, nucleation theory,           medicine, vitrification, and frozen-food technology.
