The presence of nutrients in surface watersalso causesalgae growth which diminishes dissolved oxygen

high levels of phosphates , used in detergents to soften watercan causeexcessive algae growth ... depriving fish of oxygen

Too much nutrientcan causeeutrophication ( depletion of dissolved oxygen by aquatic plant growth

Too much manure when loaded in fishpondscan causedissolved oxygen depletion resulting in fish mortalities

Phosphates and nitrates from these sources enter lakes and riverscausingexcessive algal growth , which deprives fish of oxygen

Built - in Aeration Barcreatesmore dissolved oxygen for the fish

warm watercan ... causethe fish 's need for dissolved oxygen to increase

agricultural pollutantscausegrowth of hyacinth , which deprive fish of oxygen
