Acid rain is caused by gasses and particles released into the atmoshpere, mostly by industries and vehicle emissions. When it rains these chemicals reacts with water and form mild acids.

Only way to tie acid rain to eating fish is by the roundabout way of the pollution caused by the factories that made the fishing equipment used to catch the fish, the fuel burnt by the fishing boat and any other vehicle involved in getting the fish from the ocean to the eater and so on.

How does acid rain affect you?

Acid rain will go into are rivers, reservoirs and oceans and cause the pH of them to increase slightly therefore affecting marine life. Killing fish also causes other animals which eat fish and use the water to be effected. This would cause an economic impact because fishermen would loose money and acid rain will cause soil to be acidic meaning crops and plants wont grow as well which would effect farmers. This would cause a social impact as acid rain erodes limestone/ certain buildings, and there to be less fish/animals for us to eat. This would cause an environmental impact as plants, marine life and animals will be killed. Overall you can clearly see that acid rain effects us greatly.

Fish are more sensitive to acid rain than trees. Acid rain can lower the pH levels of water bodies, making it more acidic and harmful to aquatic life like fish. Trees can also be affected by acid rain, but fish are generally more vulnerable due to their direct exposure to water contaminated with acidic compounds.
