What effect does increased water temperature have on oxygen content in the water?

as water temp increases, oxygen content decreases

When water warms up, the amount of dissolved oxygen it can hold decreases. This happens because the solubility of gases in liquids drops as temperature rises—warmer water molecules have more energy and let oxygen escape more readily. In aquaculture, this means warmer water not only carries less oxygen by itself, but fish and other organisms also use more oxygen at higher temperatures, increasing the risk of low oxygen levels. So the oxygen content goes down with increasing temperature, rather than up, staying the same, or fluctuating randomly.
