Ocean's harmful low-oxygen zones growing, are sensitive to small changes in climate. ScienceDaily . Retrieved June 2, 2025 from www.sciencedaily.com / releases / 2011 / 06 / 110617110713.htm ...

But all that mixing also stirs up low-oxygen zones deep in the water, bringing them much nearer the surface than usual, threatening organisms that need higher oxygen concentrations to survive.

Low oxygen levels affect almost everything across the board, including fish growth, reproduction, activity levels, and outright survival. A host of genetic and metabolic changes can help fish ...
