Solution
- Oil spills: Accidental oil spills in the sea can taint water and destroy marine life. Oil can cover fish's gills, making breathing harder and disturbing their usual behaviours.
- Industrial waste: Discharge of industrial contaminants into water can cause pollution and harm aquatic life, particularly fish. Chemicals and poisons from industrial operations can pollute water and harm fish health.
