GOALS & HYPOTHESISGOALS & HYPOTHESIS
1.1. Develop indicators of hypoxic effects Develop indicators of hypoxic effects in a common marsh resident – in a common marsh resident – Fundulus grandisFundulus grandis
2.2. Advance understanding of Advance understanding of howhow hypoxia regulates reproduction in fishhypoxia regulates reproduction in fish
Hypoxia impairs Hypoxia impairs reproductionreproduction
