Aquatic Hypoxia Is a Teratogen and Affects Fish Embryonic Development
10 Aug 2004
Abstract excerpt
Hypoxia occurs over large areas in aquatic systems worldwide, and there is growing concern that hypoxia may affect aquatic animals, leading to population decline and changes in community by elimination of sensitive species. For the first time, we report that sublethal levels of hypoxia can significantly increase (+77.4%) malformation in fish embryonic development. Disruption of apoptotic pattern was clearly...
