Summary

From the results presented in the paper the authors suggest that recrystallization inhibition is important in animals which can survive intracellular freezing. In contrast, in freezing tolerant animals which cannot survive intracellular freezing recrystallization inhibition is not essential. The presence of recrystallization inhibition in some freezing tolerant animals which do not survive intracellular freezing may indicate that these organisms are especially vulnerable to recrystallization or to movements of salty still-liquid domains in the extracellular spaces.
