We present our experiences in monitoring hypoxia and assessing oxygen-related phenomena in aquatic systems, resulting from the EU-FP7 project HYPOX (“In situ monitoring of oxygen depletion in hypoxic ecosystems of coastal and open seas, and land-locked water bodies”, www.hypox.net). For this presentation, we selected approaches and technologies which could be relevant for monitoring fast fluctuations at the pelagic redoxcline, seasonal benthic hypoxia and decadal trends oxycline boundary shifts
