Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -With the addition of pollutants, the phytoplankton and other organisms require more oxygen for their degradation, thus decreasing the amount of oxygen available in water. Due to this reduction in the dissolved oxygen in water, there are adverse effects on the aquatic organisms leading to their deaths.
Detailed explanation-2: -Eutrophication is a condition in a water body where high concentrations of nutrients (such as nitrogen) stimulate blooms of algae, which in turn can cause fish kills and loss of plant and animal diversity.
