The Notothenioids had a great ecological opportunity. Because the Antarctic seas were mostly empty of fish, they had minimal competition for food or habitats. Exploiting this ecological vacuum, the Notothenioid populations ballooned in size and migrated into the region’s different habitats (such as the surface ice cover and ocean-floor spongebeds), breaking up into different subpopulations.

Absorption of macromolecular proteins by the rectal epithelium of the Antarctic fish Notothenia neglecta - English
URL: http://www.nrc.ca/cisti/journals/cjz/z98-066.html

The absorption of intact proteins by Notothenia neglecta enterocytes was studied by both light and electron microscopy after administration of ferritin by the oral and anal routes. Intense pinocytosis of ferritin occurs in the second half of the preanal segment, located distal to the rectal valve, which is equivalent to 5% of the intestine length. The ferritin was identified after 48 h by light microscopy and was also observed in the interior of the electron-dense cytoplasmic vesicles of the rectal epithelium.
