What bad effects are caused by ddt for fish?
DDT, a synthetic pesticide, has detrimental effects on fish populations primarily through bioaccumulation and biomagnification in aquatic ecosystems.

Additionally, DDT can reduce fish populations by impairing immune systems, making them more susceptible to diseases. The chemical's persistence in the environment leads to long-term ecological impacts, threatening aquatic biodiversity.
