Oxygen in the water is called "dissolved oxygen" because quite simply it is just that.
The air naturally diffuses into the water and can reach equilibrium with the water. It is virtually impossible to get too much dissolved oxygen in the water because the excess will convert back to gas and bubble out of the water like so much soda water when you pour it out of the bottle.
This said, there is no concern for too much dissolved oxygen in the water. Concern arises when dissolved oxygen levels get too low. When this happens more sensitive plants and animals become weak or die.
As a side note, weather, temperature, and salinity all effect dissolved oxygen levels. Faster moving water contains more dissolved oxygen because it has more contact with the air than still water. Cold, fresh water holds more oxygen than warm or salty water. This would mean a cold, fast moving, fresh water stream or river would contain the highest amounts of dissolved oxygen, and the salinity of the ocean water would not be ideal for holding as much dissolved oxygen.

What happens when you put oxygen into a balloon?
When you put oxygen into a balloon, the gas fills up the balloon and increases the pressure inside. This causes the balloon to expand and inflate. If too much oxygen is put into the balloon, it could burst due to the increased pressure.
Is it better to have too much gas or too much oxygen for combustion?
It is better to have too much oxygen for combustion. Having excess oxygen ensures complete combustion, which results in a cleaner and more efficient burning process. Too much gas can lead to incomplete combustion, releasing harmful byproducts like carbon monoxide.
Can too much oxygen be toxic?
Yes, too much oxygen can be toxic. This condition, known as oxygen toxicity, can cause damage to the lungs and central nervous system. It is often seen in individuals receiving high concentrations of supplemental oxygen for extended periods of time.
What are symptons of too much oxygen?
Symptoms of too much oxygen, known as oxygen toxicity, can include nausea, dizziness, confusion, twitching, and difficulty breathing. In severe cases, it can lead to seizures or respiratory failure. It is important to follow prescribed oxygen therapy guidelines to avoid this condition.
What will happen when you have too much oxygen?
Having too much oxygen in the body can lead to oxygen toxicity, which can cause symptoms like dizziness, breathing difficulties, vision problems, and even seizures. Prolonged exposure to high oxygen levels can damage the lungs and central nervous system. It's important to maintain a balance of oxygen levels to avoid these risks.
Is there anything you can give your dog who drank too much seawater?
just fresh water.
Can too much oxygen harm community tank fish?
No. There is not such thing as too much oxygen just too much carbon. It is good to have a lot of oxygen so the fish dont die because of no oxygen.
What is carbon dioxide narcosis?
Carbon dioxide narcosis happens when people have too much oxygen. It builds up in the body and becomes toxic
What happens to someone on Jupiter?
they die because it is too cold,-150C, and there is no oxygen.
What would happen if their was too much oxygen?
Too much air would harm the body
What happens when someone hyperventilates?
They breathe too much oxygen. This causes light-headedness. Breathe slowly for awhile or breathe into a paper bag to raise your CO2 .
Why your body would lose water if you drank too much seawater?
Because the sea water replaces the old water...
What is meant when you say too much is bad and too little is bad?
The "Goldilocks Principle" applies to everything. For anything you can name, there is "too much!", or "too little", or "Just right!" Water; too much water, and you will drown; too little water and you die of thirst. Food; too much and you get fat, too little and you'll starve. There's a "Just right!" somewhere in between. Oxygen; too much oxygen, and you'll have seizures and you'll be brain-damaged. That's why scuba divers never dive with pure oxygen; below about 40 feet depth, the oxygen becomes toxic. Too little oxygen, and your brain will starve.

Can too much oxygen cause respiratory failure?
no
What happens when there is too much or too little water?
if there too little water animal die crops are not growing and if their is too much water flood came
