Recent measurements of dissolved oxygen (DO) along the Laurentian Channel in Eastern Canada revealed the presence of hypoxic waters in the bottom 50 m of the water column. At hypoxic oxygen levels, many fish species cannot survive or reproduce, and the microbial life community undergoes significant
