Oxygen dissolves into water from contact with the atmosphere and from plants in the water. At night, there are high levels of carbon dioxide and low levels of of oxygen. This is because the plants and algae in the water are removing the oxygen for respiration. During daylight hours, however, oxygen levels are high and carbon dioxide levels are low. Plants produce more oxygen than they consume, so more oxygen is provided for the fish and other organisms in the water.
