Many fish and wetland specie live in waters that run through farm land. Activities on the farm including pesticide use can affect fish and water quality. This is due to run-offs of rain water downstream or to ponds either due to rain water or irrigation. they drift and settle because of they d break down very slowly. In several months later, because of ingestion and fish being dependent of water for oxygen end up having concentration of pesticides in their system.
