Do you think the creatures in antartica would survive in the Pacific/Alantic ocean

Hi Dakota,Antarctic invertebrates can only live in a very limited temperature
range, around minus 1.8 degrees C. Some of them can manage up to a
few degrees C, so in the deep ocean, where water temperatures are
around 4 degrees C they might be able to survive. But in shallower
waters that are warmer, they would have no chance, either in the
Atlantic or the Pacific.
Best, Stacy
