Why are aquatic species more comfortable in cold water in comparison to warm water?
(N/A) It is noteworthy that the values of Henry's law constant $(K_H)$ increase with a decrease of temperature. It is due to this reason that at a given pressure the solubility of oxygen in water increases with a decrease in temperature. Therefore,the presence of more oxygen at lower temperature makes the aquatic species more comfortable in cold water in comparison to warm water.
