Roy,

already did suggest adding salt. Then in the same breath
talks about adding oxygen to the water, which is kind of silly because the
salt prevents the water from holding on to the oxygen. Seems like an
oxymoron of a technique to me. This time of the year it may not be to bad
depending on where Oxymel of Squill lives (UK I think), but in the Summer
time when warmed water holds even less oxygen adding salt can really cause
problems. And remember, the big fish always die first.
