Hypoxia in fish refers to a condition where there is a deficiency of oxygen in the water, which can lead to stress, illness, or death in aquatic organisms. Normal oxygen levels in freshwater and saltwater environments typically range from about 5 to 14 mg/L, depending on various factors like temperature and salinity. When the oxygen levels drop below this range, it can cause hypoxic conditions.
