Q. |
The optimum dissolved oxygen level (in mg/litre) required for survival of aquatic organisms is - |
A. | 4 - 6 |
B. | 2 - 4 |
C. | 8 - 10 |
D. | 12 - 16 |
Answer» A. 4 - 6 | |
Explanation: Oxygen is one of several dissolved gases important to aquatic systems. Dissolved oxygen is necessary to maintain aerobic conditions in surface waters and is considered a primary indicator when assessing the suitability of surface waters to support aquatic life. For maintenance of aquatic health, dissolved oxygen concentrations should approach saturation - that concentration which is in equilibrium with the partial pressure of atmospheric oxygen. |
