Fish avoid these dead zones. According to these scientists, the problem is much greater, low oxygen levels can also cause nitric oxide to multiply. Nitric oxide is a greenhouse gas 300 times more powerful than CO2.<\/p>\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\"><strong>More than 50% of all oxygen on Earth is formed in the oceans. Low-oxygen zones are created by fertilizers for animal husbandry and agriculture.<\/strong><\/pre>\n\n<p>Small coastal fishermen see their yields decrease as the fish stocks decrease. Tourism is also threatened. Many inland rivers and lakes have become low in oxygen or are in danger of becoming low in oxygen.<\/p>\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>&#8220;<em>An ecosystem that is not healthy can have far-reaching consequences<\/em>,&#8221; says Lisa Levi, a biologist at the University of California<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Global warming is partly responsible for low-oxygen zones <\/h3>\n\n<p>Warmer water contains less oxygen than colder water.
