1. Among other problems, the bay, including its tidal rivers, does not meet standards for dissolved oxygen. 2. And hydrilla monopolizes the dissolved oxygen that fish and other aquatic plants require to thrive, further reducing native diversity. 3. Beneath the surface, the faster-accumulating remains of the new algae have almost completely obliterated the dissolved oxygen in the water. 4. Dissolved oxygen does not reach the deeper water and the fish move closer to the surface. 5. Dissolved oxygen, a sign of marine health, is well below acceptable levels. 6. Even if the product did contain high levels of dissolved oxygen, a notion that chemists dismiss, it would be of no medicinal use. 7. For example, you can measure the pH level of your backyard pool, the dissolved oxygen in a nearby stream or your heart rate while on a treadmill. 8. For years, marine life in the western portion of the Sound has been plagued by low levels of dissolved oxygen, which can be caused by algae blooms. 9. In the Gulf of Mexico, the lack of dissolved oxygen off the Louisiana coast is linked to nutrients washed off agricultural land. 10. Other detectors on the buoys will record the temperature of the water, its salinity and its amount of dissolved oxygen. |
