A large amount of sewage enters a river and many of the fish die. Sewage contains bacteria and organic material. Explain why the fish died.
Bacteria in the water decay organic matter in sewage -> respire aerobically -> uses the O2 in the water and reduces O2 concentration -> fish have less O2 to aerobically respirate -> fish die
