About this document
Importance of Dissolved Oxygen in Water by alexokorie is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Dissolved oxygen in water is important for aquatic life. It dissolves from the air and is produced by photosynthesis. It is essential for fish and aquatic animals to survive. Low oxygen levels stress and can kill fish and other organisms. Adequate dissolved oxygen is necessary to support diverse aquatic ecosystems. Past pollution degraded oxygen levels in rivers like the Thames and Rhine, but levels have since improved.
