Pumkinguys wild guess...........Cold water holds more CO2...........so I'll
go with cold water holding more O2. Is there a chemist in the house???????
Yes....As a general rule, water holds more O2 at cooler temps. Heating tends
to lower the solubility. Think of what happens when you warm up a can of
carbonated water (soda pop). It goes flat as it warms up.
O2 is far less soluble than CO2. I wouldn't think it would be a factor.
