Oxygen availability, an abiotic factor, is vital for aquatic organisms. Fast, cold water holds high oxygen content, while slow or warm conditions can lead to oxygen deficiency and asphyxiation of aquatic life.
La disponibilidad de oxígeno, un factor abiótico, es vital para los organismos acuáticos. El agua rápida y fría tiene un alto contenido de oxígeno, mientras que las condiciones lentas o cálidas pueden provocar deficiencias de oxígeno y la asfixia de los organismos acuáticos.
