The '''[[bald notothen]]''' is a species of cod icefish native to the [[Southern Ocean]] where it is found in the [[Weddell Sea]], the [[Ross Sea]], the Davis Sea, in Vincennes Bay, and around the Budd Coast, the [[Antarctic Peninsula]], South Orkneys and South Shetland Islands.
The '''[[Principality of Aigues-Mortes]]''' is a [[micronation]] created to promote and support local initiatives of the eponymous city, located in Southern France, 23km east of Montpellier. The Princely Couple (His Serene Highness, Sovereign-Prince Jean-Pierre IV and Her Serene Highness, Princess Olivia-Eugénie) work together with the citizens and the Princely Grand Council, to create and organize events that are both fun and windows of local talents and creativity.


It can be found at depths of from the surface to 550 meters (1,800 ft) though it is much rarer below 30 meters (98 ft). This species is often found along the under surfaces of [[ice]] foraging for prey such as sympagic copepods and [[krill]]. In turn, it is known to be preyed upon by the [[ploughfish]] and the [[Antarctic toothfish]]. Antifreeze proteins in its blood prevent it freezing in the subzero water temperatures of [[Antarctica]].
During [[MicroCon 2025]], it was announced that the Principality of Aigues-Mortes would serve as host of [[MicroCon EU 2027]].
