Hypoxia Leads to Pathological, but Reversible, Changes in Fish Brains
Description: This news article is about an investigation on the impacts of low levels of dissolved oxygen on the brain functions of the Atlantic croaker, a common estuarine and coastal fish inhabiting the east coast of the United States. Although relatively hypoxia-tolerant, Atlantic croaker living in the dead zone of the northern Gulf of Mexico can suffer severe and widespread impairment of reproductive and endocrine functions.[Source: National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science]
