We consider generalized definitions of mixing and exactness for random dynamical systems in terms of Markov operator cocycles. We first give six fundamental definitions of mixing for Markov operator cocycles in view of observations of the randomness in environments, and show that they can be reduced into two different groups. Secondly, we give the definition of exactness for Markov operator cocycles and show that Lin's criterion for exactness can be naturally extended to the case of Markov operator cocycles. Finally, in the class of asymptotically periodic Markov operator cocycles, we show the Lasota-Mackey type equivalence between mixing, exactness and asymptotic stability.
