Supersaturation of total dissolved gas (TDG) is mainly produced by high dam discharge, excess oxygen production by plant photosynthesis, and a sharp increase in water temperature, which may directly lead to fish and aquatic organisms suffering from “gas bubble disease” (GBD) or death. Aeration was one of the methods used to solve the dissipation of supersaturated TDG. In this paper, aeration had an obvious promotion effect on the dissipation of supersaturated TDG. For the calculation and analysis of supersaturated TDG dissipation coefficient, the aeration rate was proportional to TDG dissipation coefficient and had a promoting effect on it, while the aeration depth and aeration aperture were inversely proportional to TDG dissipation coefficient and played an inhibitory effect on it. The supersaturated TDG dissipation coefficient was affected by a factor of KTDG,Q> KTDG,D> KTDG,H. A quantitative relationship between the supersaturated TDG dissipation coefficient and aeration rate, aeration depth, and aeration aperture was obtained, respectively, as well as important expressions with comprehensive effect factors; their margins of error average within 10%. This research method has an important guiding significance for improving the living environment of fish and other aquatic organisms, alleviating the adverse effects of supersaturated TDG.
