where does sea water fish get their supply of oxygen?
water
many cold water fish that live in clean cold waters become stressed when oxygen concentrations fall below 8 mg/l while warm water fish generally need at least 5 ppm (5 mg/l) of dissolved oxygen. fish can endure short periods of reduced oxygen. depleted oxygen levels are the most common cause of fish kills. oxygen levels normally fluctuate even over the course of a day and are affected by weather, temperature, the amount of sunlight available, and the amount of living and dead plant and animal matter in the water. in temperate zones oxygen levels in eutrophic rivers in summertime can exhibit very large diurnal fluctuations with many hours of oxygen supersaturation during daylight followed by oxygen depletion at night. associated with these photosynthetic rhythms there is a matching ph rhythm as bicarbonate ion is metabolised by plant cells. this can lead to ph stress even when oxygen levels are high.
