Ques. 1NEET 2016 (Phase 2)

A lake which is rich in organic waste may result in

  1. mortality of fish due to lack of oxygen
  2. increased population of fish due to lots of nutrients
  3. increased population of aquatic organisms due to minerals
  4. drying of the lake due to algal bloom

Answer

(1) mortality of fish due to lack of oxygen

Solution

Organic waste in water is decomposed by micro-organisms, which consume a large amount of dissolved oxygen in the process (high BOD).

As per NCERT, this causes a sharp decline in dissolved oxygen downstream of the point of discharge, resulting in the mortality of fish and other aquatic creatures.
