Genomic approaches in the identification of hypoxia biomarkers in model fish species

Due to these efforts, hundreds of hypoxia-responsive genes have been identified both from laboratory reared aquaria fish and from feral fish derived from both fresh and saltwater habitats. Herein, we review these reports and the emergence of hypoxia biomarker development in aquatic species. We also include some of our own recent results using the medaka (Oryzias latipes) as a model to define genetic profiles of hypoxia exposure.
