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.
