  1. Levels of dissolved oxygen and ammonia in each exposure chamber at the start and end of the 24 h static oil exposure. C1-C4 = control group; T1-T4 = treatment/oil group
  2. aIdentified as Callinectes similis following the oil exposure
  3. bBelow the 2.0 mg l−1 threshold used to define hypoxia in the Gulf of Mexico [21]
