Dissolved oxygen is essential for the survival of aquatic life, as fish and other aquatic organisms use it to breathe. Without enough dissolved oxygen in the water, aquatic organisms can suffocate and die. High levels of pollutants, such as organic matter and nutrients, can reduce the dissolved oxygen levels in water and harm aquatic life.
