Low dissolved oxygen concentration can be achieved using low-head oxygenators.

Low dissolved oxygen concentration can be achieved using low-head oxygenators. Correct Answer True

Low head oxygenation (LHO) devices can provide low concentration of dissolved oxygen in recirculating aquaculture devices. These devices are operated by gravity, are larger in size thereby incurring high initial cost.
