As the phytoplankton dies, it will go to the bottom of the waters where the bacteria will decompose it, which further depletes the dissolved oxygen.
Key Points:
- As the phytoplankton dies, it will go to the bottom of the waters where the bacteria will decompose it, which further depletes the dissolved oxygen.
- If the dissolved oxygen depletes, hypoxia, fish kills and invertebrates like worms and clams will also die.
- A fish cannot live below the 30 percent saturation of dissolved oxygen.
- The synergy of diffusion of oxygen nanobubbles and retention of oxygen in this layer leads to both the increase of dissolved oxygen and reversal of hypoxic conditions.
