Question
Why are aquatic species more comfortable in cold water in comparison to warm water?
Solution
Colder water enhances oxygen solubility, which is essential for aquatic life. Colder water can store more dissolved oxygen than warmer water. Aquatic animals, especially those with high oxygen demands, prefer cooler water as it delivers more dissolved oxygen for respiration and metabolism.
