Question

In the summer, the fishes die in shallow ponds in the wanting of sufficient food.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

Fish, and all other aquatic animals, need oxygen to survive. They get it in the form of $\mathrm{Oxygen}\left({\mathrm{O}}_2\right)$ gas dissolved in the water.

In the summer:

• During the summer season, the water of ponds becomes warm.
• Warm water holds less dissolved $\mathrm{Oxygen}\left({\mathrm{O}}_2\right)$ than cold water hence the concentrations of dissolved $\mathrm{Oxygen}\left({\mathrm{O}}_2\right)$ in the water decrease in summer.
• The fishes start dying in shallow ponds in the wanting of sufficient oxygen.

Conclusion:

So, In the summer, the fishes die in shallow ponds in the wanting of sufficient$\mathrm{Oxygen}\left({\mathrm{O}}_2\right)$, not sufficient food.

Therefore, the given statement is false.
