Ocean warming and increased stratification decrease the oxygen content of the ocean ( [[#Griffiths--2017|Griffiths et al., 2017]] ; [[#Schmidtko--2017|Schmidtko et al., 2017]] ; [[#Bindoff--2019|Bindoff et al., 2019]] ), lead to an expansion of oxygen minimum zones in the open ocean ( [[#Stramma--2012|Stramma et al., 2012]] ; [[#Zhang--2013|Zhang et al., 2013]] ) and exacerbate the creation of anoxic ‘dead zones’ in the coastal oceans ( [[#Breitburg--2018|Breitburg et al., 2018]] ). Such a decline (characterized by successive dissolved oxygen concentration thresholds) could affect a wide range of marine organisms and reduce marine habitats ( [[#Chan--2008|Chan et al., 2008]] ; [[#Vaquer-Sunyer--2008|Vaquer-Sunyer and Duarte, 2008]] ; [[#Hoegh-Guldberg--2010|Hoegh-Guldberg and Bruno, 2010]] ; [[#Altieri--2015|Altieri and Gedan, 2015]] ; [[#Breitburg--2018|Breitburg et al., 2018]] ) and can also lead to further local acidification ( [[#Zhang--2016|Zhang and Gao, 2016]] ; [[#Laurent--2017|Laurent et al., 2017]] ).
