Dissolved oxygen in ambient water is considered to have effects on fish life through the influence on oxygen level in the arterial blood. The minimum requirement of ambient oxygen for carp is, based on this idea, estimated to be 70-80mmHg in partial pressure or 45-55% in percent saturation, from the minimum level of ambient oxygen.required for maintenance of normal levels of partial pressure, percent saturation and estimated concentration of oxygen in the arterial blood.
These values coincide with those estimated in the previous paper by one of the present authors and those estimated from rearing experiments of CHIBA.
