Dissolved Oxygen
Dissolved is oxygen in the water.The oxygen
enters the water by the Atmosphere and by plant photosynthisis.
D.O ranges from 0-18 ppm(parts per million).Most natural habitates require 5-6 ppm.Species such as Mayfly,caddisfly larva,and beetle larva, cannot tolerate a big decrease in D.O level.
Our Results
We got 13ppm.Its Really good because 0 is the worst rate and 18 is the best range and 13 is prety close to 18.
What this means
This means that there is alot of oxygen in the in the Chimacum creek.
What we used
We used the D.o probe to test the D.O rate in Chimacum creek.
This is the dissolved oxygen probe.
