Not at a rate that isn't being exceeded by the gentle breeze.

you know humans(the most conscious animals on the face of the earth) actually die occasionally from accidentally crawling into something like a tank void of oxygen.  

Or god forbid a situation where they breath too much CO from a gas heater and die to lack of oxygen. 

 

If humans do it what even makes us remotely convinced fish are smart enough to not do it? Do fish have internal O2 meters?

[fishinwrench]

In a sense, yes they do.   Besides, let's not ignore the fact that fish don't go belly up during the Fall turnover.   They may cease to feed and travel great distances....but they adjust their consumption rate and ultimately survive.

You'll have to forgive my base knowledge of micro-organisms.....I'm sure someone can pop on here with the actual logic.....but Its the micro-organisms(bacteria) that consume the 02 to convert the decaying matter into Co2. 

If I recall these micro-organisms are HIGHLY food dependent meaning if there is nothing for them to consume numbers are relatively low but with ample food they populate at alarming rates as numbers increase O2 decreases and Co2 increases again at rates dependent on population.

Now you're over my head.  😅 

I'm only concerned over whether the fish can, and are most likely to survive, or not.

[fishinwrench]

Fish become lethargic when their basic survival needs aren't being met.  Therefore requiring less....until conditions improve. 

The tolerances are pretty wide.   Humans aren't so designed.

Well then, Alex, can you get a lens pointed up there and take a picture of it,  photoshop the hell out of it, and then share?  So we can more properly grasp the meaningness of it all.

That's exactly what I said, DingDong.    

Now make some coffee and shut up.  🙄 

 

 

Ok, I was wrong, you've apparently been drinking something stronger than coffee.
