Washington: Warmer water temperature and decreased levels of oxygen in the ocean will act together to push marine animals away from the equator to places in the ocean where the oxygen supply can meet their future needs, says a study. It will speed up the animals' metabolic need for oxygen, as also happens during exercise, but will hold less of the oxygen needed to fuel their bodies, similar to what happens at high altitudes, the researchers said.
