Anadromous – fish that live their adult lives in the ocean but migrate up fresh water rivers to spawn. Examples are Pacific salmon. Fish that migrate in the opposite direction are called catadromous. Anoxic sea water – sea water depleted of oxygen. See hypoxia. Anoxic sediments – sediments depleted of oxygen.
