When an animal cell is deprived off oxygen it produces lactic acid which is why your arms are sore if work out really hard.

Biological oxygen demand is how much oxygen is being used by the creatures in the water.
Disolved oxygen is a measure of what is still in the water.
Basically, one tells you how much is being taken out, and the other tells you what's left.
