You pretty much hit it on the head, unless you combine a surface agitator with a tube that allows water from deeper in the water column to be brought to the surface.

As to whether it's more O2, that all depends on how it's measured.

I'll bet George will have a slightly different take on it, and I'd say his take on it is correct too.
