Percent saturation to micromoles per liter
Type a value in % to get it in µmol/L instantly.
36.5µmol/L
That's 2.3× as rich as a dead zone, while stressed water is 2.6× higher. That is too little for most fish to survive.
What it means
How much oxygen is in there?
Saturation values are for fresh water at sea level. Seawater holds about 20% less, and altitude lowers it further.
The math
How to convert % to µmol/L
Saturation depends steeply on temperature: % = mg/L ÷ saturation × 100, where saturation is 14.6 mg/L at 0 °C and 7.6 at 30 °C. The figures below use the temperature selected above.
Example: 8 % = 36.5 µmol/L.
The table below is for water at 0 °C, saturation 14.6 mg/L.
