In the article they say that convective flow does not occur in micro-gravity which makes it possible to accurately measurement the ice crystals as they grow.

That makes sense, thank you. If you're already removing the flow that comes from the fish's own circulatory system, you may as well remove the remaining (comparatively small?) effects of the convective flow.
