Deep-ocean animals such as this owlfish may suffer as carbon dioxide increases and oxygen concentrations decline in the deep sea

New calculations made by marine chemists from the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI) suggest that low-oxygen "dead zones" in the ocean could expand significantly over the next century.
