Early life stages of fish (eggs and larvae) are particularly vulnerable with mortality rates of up
to 99% recorded for a large number of species. High mortality rates result from the limited …

Hypoxia affects thousands of km2 of marine waters all over the world, and has caused mass
mortality of marine animals, benthic defaunation and decline in fisheries production in many …

Coastal hypoxia (defined here as< 1.42 ml L− 1; 62.5 μM; 2 mg L− 1, approx. 30% oxygen
saturation) develops seasonally in many estuaries, fjords, and along open coasts as a result …

Eutrophication is one of the most severe and widespread forms of disturbance affecting
coastal marine systems. Whilst there are general models of effects on benthos, such as the …

Dissolved oxygen (DO) concentration in the water column is an environmental parameter
that is crucial for the successful development of many pelagic organisms. Hypoxia tolerance …

Hypoxia is an ever increasing threat to aquatic systems. While fluctuating levels of dissolved
oxygen (DO) can be a natural phenomenon, hypoxia caused by eutrophication and organic …

Hypoxia, or low dissolved oxygen, remains a common occurrence in estuarine waters as
human activity in coastal areas expands. Fish kills, probably the most recognized indicator of …

Ecological studies, including those focusing on coastal eutrophication, vary in the emphasis
they place on species‐level vs. ecosystem‐level processes. The degree of variation among …

Zooplankton are critical to the vitality of estuaries and coastal waters. In this revised edition
of Johnson and Allen's instant classic, readers are taken on a tour of the miniature universe …

The fossil record is the primary source of data used to study predator-prey interactions in
deep time and to evaluate key questions regarding the evolutionary and ecological …
