- DAlgal Bloom decreases fish mortality
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
1. Eutrophication is the natural aging of a lake by biological enrichment of its water.2. Correct statement: Biomagnification refers to the increase in concentration of non-degradable toxicants (like DDT) as they move up the food chain.3. High nutrients cause algal blooms.4.
