Answer» enhanced growth of algae. decrease in amount of dissolved oxygen in water. deposition of calcium phosphate. increase in fish population. Solution :Phosphate contains fertilizers present in water help in the excess growth of aquatic PLANTS and algae. These plants decompose by micro-organisms consume oxygen. As a result, the amount of dissolved oxygen in the water decreases. This leads to anaerobic CONDITION, COMMONLY with accumulation of obnoxious decay and animal death. Thus bloom infested water inhibits the growth of other living organisms in the water body. This process in which NUTRIENT enriched water bodies support a dense plant population which kills animal life by depriving it of oxygen and RESULTS in subsequent loss of biodiversity is known as eutrophication.
