Is it true that Pouring water from a height increases its oxygen content?

Unclear. One popular science text says pouring water back from a height makes fish seem content, implying air is mixed in, and a model experiment reports that gas entrainment increases with pouring height. Neither measures the oxygen content of the water, so the claim is only partially supported.
