It is expected that under current progression of anthropogenic influence, consequences for coastal ecosystems will be detrimental. This study aims to assess mitochondrial mechanisms involved in response to hypoxia and reoxygenation stress of four marine bivalve species differing in their hypoxia tolerance and lifestyle.
