Dissolved Oxygen ++++++++++++++++++ A dissolved oxygen sensor measures how much oxygen gas (O₂) is mixed into the water. Oxygen is essential for fish, crabs, and almost all underwater life to survive. The most well known and widely used oxygen sensor is the `Aanderaa optodes `_. These usually work by measuring `fluorescence quenching `_. .. image:: /images/optode.jpg `These `_ guys have low cost oxygen sensors which can be used in our project.
