Oxygen does dissolve in water, how do you think aquatic animals survive without dissolved oxygen.

Right, so without a practical demonstration, you expect people to take your word for it!? Oxygen!!! Does not dissolve in water, because of the reasons above. I cannot demonstrate something that is impossible to prove empirically, but abject morons can.

Oh yes, oxygen dissolves in water; that's what enables fish to breathe through their gills.

Oxygen is soluble in water to an extent. Fresh water will hold about 6 milligrams of oxygen per liter of water. It may not sound like much, but nearly all aquatic animal life depends on it.

Oxygen is only very slightly soluble in water. Water in contact with air has about 8 mg of O2/L dissolved in it. So I would not agree that oxygen is particularly soluble in water at all.
