Invertebrate muscle performance at high latitude: swimming activity in the Antarctic scallop, Adamussium colbecki [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
The escape swimming performance of the Antarctic scallop, Adamussium colbecki, was measured in animals acclimated for 6 weeks to –1, 0 or 2°C and tested at –1.5 to +1.5°C. Clap duration and swimming velocity were significantly related to temperature, but
