Answer:
Almost all types of water pollutants affect the life forms
living in the water. The pollutants encourage the growth of some life forms and
can harm the growth of other life forms, This affects the balance between
various organisms that persists in that system (ecosystem).
With the increase in the amount of organic wastes in
water, bacteria multiply very rapidly thus using up the available oxygen. The
lack of oxygen hence caused kills the fish and other aquatic animals.
Aquatic organisms are used to a certain range of
temperature in the water body where they live, a sudden marked change in this
temperature can be very dangerous for them (they are cold blooded animals),
e.g., it affects breeding of aquatic animals. The eggs and larvae of various
animals are particularly susceptible to temperature changes.
