Abstract

Based on expeditions and experimental studies, a quantitative assessment of the energy characteristics underlying the interaction of energy exchange processes in fish living in the Arctic has been carried out. The linear and weight growth of non–migratory species, the Arctic flounder Liopsetta glacialis (Pallas, 1776) of the Kara Sea, was studied for the first time. It has been established that in marine cold water fish species, the slowdown in biosynthesis processes leads to a relative decrease in the proportion of entropy generated by metabolic processes, while the growth process in fish at low temperatures becomes more efficient.
