Arabian Gulf
A study from NYU Abu Dhabi reveals that brief nighttime drops in ocean oxygen increase energy expenditure in small coral reef fish, potentially affecting reef ecosystems. Researchers examined the Gulf blenny in the Arabian Gulf, the world's hottest sea, where such conditions are already extreme. The findings highlight additional stress from warming oceans beyond just higher temperatures.
