The occurence of hypoxia in the northern Adriatic at the end of 1994

The occurence of hypoxia was recorded in the northern Adriatic at the end of 1994 during the fishery-biogy expedition PIPETA. Abundant precipitation preceding the time of sampling caused a multifold increase of Po River discharge to which a reduction of surface salinity and higher stability of the water column were due, particularly at stations south of the Po delta. These stations placed above muddy bottom are also characterized by slow bottom currents. Oxygen deficiency due to slow horizontal and vertical movements caused benthic organisms kill
