Question

A new factory is being built upstream from an estuary that has a large population of fish and turtles. A dam will be built across the river and a large lake will form behind it. What effect will the dam have on the organisms living in the estuary

Answer 1

Adversely affected.

Step-by-step explanation:

Dam adversely affected the organisms living in the estuary because dam controls the flow of water of estuary. Dams divide rivers that formed upstream and downstream habitats. The migratory fish depends on the natural environment and flow of river. Due to dams, change occur in rivers flow, the water temperature and natural conditions. This change prevents migratory fish from mating and/or hinders the development of fish larval.
