Shocking Fish Deaths at THIS Indian Location: Experts Investigate

The mass death of fish disrupts the aquatic ecosystem by breaking the food chain, depriving predators like birds and larger fish of a vital food source. As the dead fish decompose, they consume large amounts of oxygen, creating hypoxic “dead zones” that make survival impossible for other aquatic life. This, combined with nutrient overload, leads to harmful algal blooms that further degrade water quality.
The loss of biodiversity weakens the ecosystem’s resilience, while polluted water poses health risks to humans through waterborne diseases. Economically, it affects fisheries and local livelihoods. Immediate action is needed to stop pollution and restore the river’s ecological balance.
