This would be primary succession. Primary succession is succession starting from bare rock. Succession may start with weathering of the rock to create small pockets of lose soil. Seeds of pioneer plants may be carried by the wind to fall into pockets of soil with sufficient moisture to allow germination. The growth of pioneer plants will further break up the bare rock, creating a deeper layer of soil. As the plants grow, dead leaves and roots enrich the soil with organic content. Small animals start to colonise the area, such as gophers, who further break up and enrich the soil. The plants change from pioneer plants to plants of a specific biome. Succession will continue in this fashion until until an equilibrium is achieved.
Antarctic fish species requires an adaptation to cold environment. Living at cold temperature environment would demand certain biological responses such as cutaneous respiration, enlarged blood vessels, and producing greater amounts of fat. Most of these fat are composed of higher phospolipid levels which are primarily due to phosphatidylethanolamine. This phospolipid is responsible for destabilizing cell membranes and make it more fluid thereby allowing unrestricted blood flow. The fatty acid composition of the membrane lipid is important for membrane fluidity, this is mainly attributed to unsaturated fatty acids which are responsible for decreasing the order of membrane lipids thereby decreasing viscosity. At extremely low temperatures, organisms with low concentration of unsaturated fatty acids would freeze cell membranes. That's why antarctic fishes have higher levels of unsaturated fatty acids.
