This is for you guys that appreciate real fishery science as it related to conservation, tournament bass care in angler bass boat livewells and livewell oxygenation. If you the fisherman that likes advertisement and infomercials, you might be turned off with the science and facts offered here.
You might choose to look at the science before you waste more of your hard earned money buying and rigging up more (junk) mechanical aerators, water pumps, oxygenators and 3% hydrogen peroxide trying to oxygenate you livewell water.
Sadly, most fishermen fail to understand the difference between air and oxygen which are 2 different gases. Air is mostly nitrogen and check out Henry’s gas Law in any Chemistry book (check out the real facts, Google Henry's Gas Law and see how this really works for yourself).
The Law says the amount of gas that will dissolves in water at any given temperature is dependent on the partial pressure of that gas. That’s why aeration, adding more air or water pumps etc. won’t/can’t increase the dissolve oxygen and you’re just wasting your money on a meaningless exercise that won’t work.
If you want more oxygen then you must add more oxygen, more than is in air. That’s why when people need oxygen, you see oxygen mask used in hospitals, not electric fans pretending to be administering oxygen… not to be arogant, but the difference is very plain to see when you understand what you are really seeing... get it?
You have some choices: If you really want to fix your low oxygen problem because you say you’re a conservation minded and want to take the best possible care of your fish in your livewell, the technology and know how is here and has been for several years… well, here’s the science published by Texas Parks & Wildlife, Inland Fisheries Division, San Antonio, TX, you must decide just how much fish care you’re willing to provide, that’s the true confessions part.
Enjoy the fishery science fellows:
