摘要：

A major kill of marine animals in the New York Bight from July through September 1976 was caused by hypoxic conditions. Its inshore effects were studied in the vicinity of Little Egg Inlet, New Jersey. The macrobenthic community was most severely affected. Echinoderms suffered the greatest mortalities, followed by crustaceans and bivalves. Seven per cent of the Spisula solidissima population was killed. Polychaetes apparently had very low mortalities. Most motile invertebrates and, to a greater extent, fishes were able to avoid the hypoxia. © 1979.
