What happens when Waste thrown into bodies of water kills fish because the decaying waste?

When waste is thrown into bodies of water, it can lead to an increase in organic matter that depletes oxygen levels as it decays. This decrease in oxygen can suffocate fish and other aquatic organisms, resulting in their death. Additionally, the waste can introduce harmful chemicals and pathogens into the water, further impacting the health of aquatic life.


When excess fertilizer drains into a lake what may occur harming fish populations?

eutrophicationeutrophicationFertilizer in a lake helps algae grow. Up to a certain point, that is good. The algae turns carbon dioxide into oxygen and adds oxygen to the water. However, after that point, the algae covers the lake. Oxygen from the air can not get to deeper water. Dead algae falls to the bottom of the lake and decomposes. The process of decomposing uses up oxygen. The amount of oxygen in the lake drops below the point where fish can survive. Thus, over fertilization leads to a fish kill.


What is dissolve oxygen?

Dissolved oxygen refers to the amount of oxygen present in water. It is essential for aquatic life to breathe and thrive. Factors such as temperature, water flow, and levels of organic matter can impact the amount of dissolved oxygen in water.


Do plants fish and soil all need the air that you breath to survive?

Plants and fish rely on oxygen for respiration, while soil contains organisms that also require oxygen for their metabolic processes. However, these organisms do not necessarily use the same air that humans breathe. The oxygen in the air is exchanged and recycled through various processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, and decomposition to support the different organisms' survival.


How excess nitrogen from agriculture can kill fish?

Excess nitrogen from agriculture can lead to eutrophication in bodies of water. This excess nitrogen causes an overgrowth of algae, which reduces oxygen levels in the water when it dies and decomposes. This low oxygen level can suffocate fish and other aquatic organisms, leading to fish kills.
