Why is thermal pollution dangerous to fish?

Answer 1

Thermal Pollution is when factories take in river water and use it to cool their machines down. The water isn't dirtied or anything, but it is heated. This decreases the amount of oxygen in the water, meaning the fish can't breathe as well. This causes the fishies to die.

Answer 2

Thermal pollution is dangerous to fish because it increases water temperature, which can lower oxygen levels in the water. This can lead to suffocation of fish and other aquatic organisms. Additionally, temperature changes can disrupt the natural habitat and life cycles of fish, impacting their ability to survive and reproduce.

Answer 3

yes it can because the warm water reduces the amount of oxygen in the water meaning the fish cannot take in oxygen but take in more carbon dioxide. They are therefore unlikely to survive.

Answer 4

It increases the BOD when the algae decays and dies and aerobic decomposing bacteria breaks it down
