Question
Explain, why do aquatic animals prefer to stay at lower level of water during summer?
Advertisements
Solution
Solubility of gases decrease with increase temperature. During summer concertration of dissolved oxygen low at upper level of water therefore aquatic animals prefer to stay at lower level of water during summer.
