Low dissolved oxygen concentrations leads to(a) Low biomass yields(b) High biomass yields(c) Equal biomass compositions(d) No effect on biomass yields |

Answer» The correct answer is (a) Low biomass yields The explanation: Water with high concentrations of dissolved minerals such as salt will have a lower DO concentration than fresh water at the same temperature. Low dissolved oxygen (DO) primarily results from excessive algae growth caused by phosphorus. As the algae die and decompose, the process consumes dissolved oxygen. |
