Gilthead seabream swim back and forth in their tank, the yellow markings between their eyes that they’re named for flashing as they glide by.

The ice is made of water from a neighboring tank containing black scorpionfish*, one of the seabream’s feared predators. Díaz-Gil knows that the scent of the scorpionfish, just a trace of its existence, will likely cause the seabream to change in surprising ways.
