the one that would be the best way for an ecologist to determine the effects of an industrial waste chemical on the survival of a fish species is :
Conducting experimental work in lab

In the experiment, the scientists could test their hypothesis whether a specific chemical will negatively or positively affect the fish survival before conducting it to the real environment

hope this helps
