The oil seals the surface of the water and prevents the transfer of gasses to and from the air via the meniscus. The fish therefore die of a combination of excess CO2 and insufficient O resulting in suffocation.
You have to heat the oil first.
Short Answer: Yes PS What kind of oil?
Beacuse fish die
It depends on the type of oil, and its concentration. But generally, it would be unlikely.
yes! If a fish can die so can a shark.....
yes, thus the reason why fish die when an oil spill occurs.
Oil spills contaminate the sea and the fish die along with sea birds.
If the tiny sea plant life die, the fish would die as they have a lack of food and this can not be sustained. If the fish die from oil poisoning or no food, the birds like seagulls would die as they too have no food because they eat the fish. Also, we catch certain types of fish so the fish market would slump due to insufficient fish which could also result in over-fishing. We wouldn't die unless the fisherman relied on the fish for food and money. Certain coast are home to seals, they would too die from lack of food. The oil would affect the tiny organisms and would have a big impact further up the food chain and ecosystem.
The fish and coral would die.
the effect of oil spills is that it kills animals .such as birds and it can harm humans
Oil depots can cause water pollution. This in turn can cause animals and fish to get sick and die. This disrupts the ecosystem.
As oil tends to stay on the surfice of water and most fish swim below the surface, I would say the vast majority could; as long as they did not come into contact with the oil itself. If the oil got into its gills it would die.
