Effects of Water Pollution on the Quality of Fish

Abstract

Water can be considered as the most important aspect for any creature after oxygen. Several human activities such as the use of harmful chemicals and others are increasing day by day which is increasing contamination of water. Although water pollution is negatively effective on almost all the creatures on this earth, the study specifically sheds light on the effects of water pollution on fish health. The use of secondary sources is appropriate for this study as there are many articles and journals that provide adequate information about water pollution and its effects on fishes. All the key findings from the selected six articles are presented through a table and then narratively discussed for improving the understanding regarding the findings. As a result, it is identified that water pollution disrupts the growth of the fishes and decreases the quality of them. The percentage of fish population decreases as well as the percentage of fish decline also increases due to water contamination. All of these findings are briefly discussed in this study with accurate citation which sustains the significance of this study.
