The solubility of a gas is directly related to the pressure of the gas, as per Henry's Law S=kP (P of gas).
Increasing the pressure of a gas, at constant temp., into a smaller volume, increases the concentration of the gas in the solution.
Seeing as deep-sea areas are under intense pressure from the sea-water above them and the atmosphere, shouldn't deeper waters have more dissolved oxygen than their shallower counterparts?
