Isn't part of the reason we stopped using bunker fuel with such high sulfur levels because it caused acidification? That also greatly damages oxygen available to organisms, I think?
I forget exactly how hypoxia and acidification are related but they're often mentioned together. For example, https://www.eea.europa.eu/en/newsroom/news/warming-acidification-dropping-oxygen-levels https://www.eea.europa.eu/en/newsroom/news/warming-acidifica...
This paper seems to be saying that low Dissolved Oxygen can quickly turn into or make acidification issues worse, https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4892234/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4892234/
