OXYGEN CONSUMPTION

Definition

The rate of use of oxygen (O2 mg/kg/hr) by the culture organisms in a holding unit. The oxygen consumption is essentially determined by the fish species, size and water temperature. Oxygen consumption increases with feeding/swimming activity and poor water quality conditions (for example, high ammonia levels).
