The peripheral chemoreceptors (aortic arch and carotid bodies) are only responsive to the partial pressure of O2 in the blood not the oxygen content. Anaemia, due to low haemoglobin levels in the blood, results in low oxygen content while partial pressure of oxygen is still normal, thus the chemoreceptors won't respond
