A Fishy Fix?

Level 2

Environmentalist George suggests that because fish are unable to wear jackets/coats to keep warm, the Environmental Conservatory should install heaters in rivers, lakes, and streams so as to keep the fish in a comfortable habitat. Unfortunately, this 'solution' ruined the environment as many of the fish began to die. Why did this happen ? \\

A s s u m p t i o n s \mathbf{Assumptions} a n d \mathbf{and} D e t a i l s : \mathbf{Details:} \\ ⋅ \cdot The environment's climate was still suitable for the fish to live in \\ ⋅ \cdot There were no malfunctions in equipment

The fish did not die - they migrated The oxygen levels decreased and the fish died The fish overheated and died The fish starved and died Other

Although the conditions were still suitable for the fish, many macroinvertebrates that the fish ate died due to low oxygen levels (see temperature affects solubility ) resulting in the fish starving and eventually dying due to Environmentalist George's 'solution'.

Because of food deprivation, the solution was that the fish S t a r v e d \boxed{Starved} .
