THE IMPORTANCE OF PROVIDING “USABLE” OXYGEN TO OPTIMIZE FISH CARE
Most people do not have the resources or inclination to thoroughly investigate the complexities of maintaining sufficient oxygen levels in livewells on boats. However, understanding this topic is crucial in optimizing tournament fish care as well as assuring the preservation of our fish populations and maintaining the balance of aquatic ecosystems. Many anglers are unaware of the ways in which they can prevent this issue, but research has shown that the key is to provide ample oxygen to the livewell water in a form that can be easily absorbed by the fish's gills. By ensuring that the livewell water is well oxygenated, fish can remain healthy and alive, regardless of the temperature of the lake or livewell.
