Aspen oxygenation experiment

The Aspen oxygenation experiment tested how increasing oxygen levels in water affects aquatic life, especially fish. Researchers enriched water with oxygen to see if it improves fish health and survival, particularly during low-oxygen conditions or stressful events like pollution. The goal was to understand whether oxygenation could support fish populations and prevent die-offs, providing a possible environmental management tool. This experiment helped determine the effectiveness of oxygen infusion in maintaining healthier aquatic ecosystems, especially in lakes or rivers experiencing oxygen depletion.
