Early this morning one of our fantail goldfish was entangled in some
string algae. When I fished him out of the pond, I thought he was dead
until he twitched a little in the net. I put him back in the pond and
tried to push him around a little to get water to flow through his gills,
but he wasn't really responding. The water was really cold (38 degrees)
so I thought maybe it was too cold for the fish to resuscitate, as cold
water doesn't store as much dissolved oxygen as warm water, and I figured

Cold water holds more oxygen, I thought. Trout require highly oxygenated
water, and they live in cool water.
