How Do Low Oxygen Levels Affect Aquatic Ecosystems?: Dissolved Oxygen in Aquaculture Tech Talk 1
In aquatic ecosystems, the sun plays a major role because it allows enables thephotosynthesis process. Photosynthesis -- which takes place in algae and other water plants -- introduces oxygen into the water. Aquatic animals attain energy and absorb oxygen by eating the plants. Living organisms would obtain very little to no energy from food without the absorption of oxygen. Dissolved oxygen also gets into the water by diffusion from the air. Water absorbs oxygen when swift water movements mix water molecules with oxygen molecules in the air.
