Concept information
Preferred term
HYPOXIC CONDITIONS
Definition
- In ocean and freshwater environments, hypoxic conditions occur when dissolved oxygen concentration is depleted to a certain low level below which aquatic organisms, especially immobile species such as oysters and mussels, endure severe stress or die. Hypoxic conditions can occur naturally but are often the consequence of excessive nutrient input from human activities. (en)
