Data were compiled from the literature on the critical oxygen level (Pcrit), a hypoxia-tolerance trait, comprising 96 studies covering 151 fish species from 58 families. Salinity, temperature, body mass, and routine metabolic rate were highly correlated with Pcrit. The effects of temperature, CO2, acidification, metals and feeding are also assessed.
