«The prevailing thinking has been that as the oceans warm due to increasing atmospheric greenhouse gases, the

decline with warming because of the decrease in solubility of gases with increasing temperature, and changes in ventilation and biological consumption.
In the tropical Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Ocean, a
decline in
oxygen content in the subsurface waters has been confirmed with observations (Stramma et al., 2010).
