All marine animals are affected by ocean pollution such as, dolphins, whales, penguins, birds, fish and many more. Not only are the marine animals harmed but everyone needs water to survive, therefore everyone and every living thing is affected by ocean pollution.

To calculate the number it would be necessary to determine:
- Number of fish of all species alive at any given time. (From the size of zooplankton to basking sharks)
- Total mortality rate from all causes (age, disease, harvesting, predation).
- Percentage attributable to pollution ( differentiating between toxic, thermal, and many other sorts of pollution and reso;ving what to do to utilize data on primary, secondary and tertiary effects)
This is far more than a life's work. Additionally, the data would be changing as fast as you could collect it. And this is precisely the problem with assessment of the pollution of our oceans. Pollution is massive (consider the North Pacific Gyre), and there isn't a good way to "get a handle on it" in an attempt to affect changes. The problem is just "out there" and bringing it home takes massive effort.
