Hypoxic conditions in freshwater and marine systems are spreading as a consequence of anthropogenic pollution and eutrophication. The bivalve Diplodon chilensis is a key species for Patagonian lakes and rivers as important filter feeder involved in water clearance. We tested its biochemical and molecular response to 10 days of exposure to anoxia (
