1. Introduction As global temperatures, as well as the incidence of aquatic hypoxia [1,2], are on the rise, the tolerance of fishes to these stressors is expected to dictate future species distribution [3–5]. The physiological responses to increased temperature and hypoxia are interconnected from the cellular to the whole-organismal level [6–9] and it has been suggested, albeit not without controversy [10–12], that oxygen supply capacity limits thermal tolerance (OCLTT) in fishes [13–16].

The Cyrus Cylinder is a document issued by Cyrus the Great, consisting of a cylinder of clay inscribed in Akkadian cuneiform script. The cylinder was created in 539 BCE, surely by order of Cyrus the Great, when he took Babylon from Nabonidus, ending the Neo-Babylonian empire. This document is considered propaganda, praising the Achaemenid ruler Cyrus and treating Nabonidus like an impious and bad king.
