Chemistry | The amount of oxygen, in parts per million by weight, dissolved in water, now generally expressed in mg/l. Source: European Union. (references) |
Environment | The oxygen freely available in water, vital to fish and other aquatic life and for the prevention of odors. DO levels are considered a most important indicator of a water body's ability to support desirable aquatic life. Secondary and advanced waste treatment are generally designed to ensure adequate DO in waste-receiving waters. (DO). (references) |

![]() | Scientists monitor the gravel composition and levels of dissolved oxygen in the creek. The process requires the insertion of plastic pipes into the streambed at a depth where fish eggs are found. The scientists use an oxygen probe to measure the levels of dissolved oxygen and measure the cleanliness of the gravel to determine suitability of the riverbed as spawning habitat.

This instrument was designed to obtain a sample of the upper layers of sediment and the water directly above the bottom. It was designed by Jean Brouardel and Jean Vernet for studying the dissolved oxygen in the waters next to the bottom. It was constructed by Jean Comelli between 1952 and 1954 and tested aboard the EIDER. Credit: Sailing for Science - the NOAA Fleet Then and Now. |

This instrument was devised and constructed by Jean Comelli at the instrument shop of the Oceanograp hic Museum at Monaco. It was tested on the EIDER off Monaco in 1953, at depths between 150 and 580 meters for the first model. Credit: Sailing for Science - the NOAA Fleet Then and Now. | ![]() | Plate 2.
