Winkler’s method for oxygen analysis is ineffective in saline waters with sufficient carbonate to cause effervescence after acidification. Miller’s method does not involve acid and, although less precise, is effective in well‐oxygenated waters; it is limited by calcium/magnesium interference where EDTA hardness is > ca. 200 meq Ca 2+ /liter.
