Few would argue the importance of oxygen in our environment. Without a doubt, it is the most valuable component found in our atmosphere; a fundamental factor that sustains us with every breath we take. As vital as oxygen is to us land lovers, it is equally important to life found in our aquatic eco-systems. Though concentrations of oxygen are but a tiny fraction of what is contained in our land environment (less than 1% in water compared to roughly 21% in our atmosphere), just like us, fish and other aquatic life are dependent on it to live. However, though oxygen is a sure and steady part of our environment, it is an ever-changing variable for life found underwater.
Balancing oxygen levels in a water system is a precarious endeavor; and one that proves to be a challenging juggling act. Variations in light, temperature, water circulation, depth and content can alter the delicate balance of oxygen, affecting plant and wildlife throughout the entire eco-system.
Perhaps the best way to understand this balancing act is to understand the circumstances in which they are produced, maintained and depleted.MORE>>
