The '''[[crocodile icefish]]''' or '''white-blooded fish''' (''Channichthyidae'') comprise a family of notothenioid fish found in the [[Southern Ocean]] around [[Antarctica]] and southern South America, where water temperatures remain relatively stable (generally ranging from -1.8 to +2.0 °C). Sixteen species of crocodile icefish are currently recognized. All icefish are believed to be piscivorous but can also feed on [[krill]]. Icefish are ambush predators; thus, they can survive long periods between feeding and often consume fish up to 50% of their own body length. Maximum body lengths of 25–50 cm have been recorded in these species.

To compensate for the loss of hemoglobin, they have larger blood vessels (including capillaries), greater blood volumes (four times that of other fish), bigger hearts, and greater cardiac outputs (fivefold greater) compared to other fish. Their hearts lack coronary arteries, and the ventricle muscles are very spongy, enabling them to absorb oxygen directly from the blood they pump.

The alliance between Westarctica and Molossia is Westarctica's oldest, and ranks among its most important and influential diplomatic relations. Since 2005, President Kevin Baugh of Molossia has been an important ally and advisor to Grand Duke Travis, both in his role as Grand Duke of Westarctica and during his time as the King of Calsahara, prior to its 2017 annexation and rebirth as a colony of Westarctica.
