Abstract
In marine ecosystems the high variety of species-specific patterns of populations living under aerobic and low oxygen conditions, is a very complex indicator of firstly, the biochemical analyses of the level and time evolution of metabolism and, secondly, the energetic activity of populations within a given ecosystem.
