(06.04 MC)The graph below shows the pH range in which the given marine organisms can survive. Nitric acid formation from the emissions of a coal-burning power plant led to a decrease in pH from 5.5 to 5.0 in a nearby estuary. How will this affect the community of aquatic life that depends on the estuary for survival? All fish will live, but all other species will die. Clams, snails, and crayfish will increase in numbers. Bass, crayfish, and mayflies will not survive. Environmental indicators like frogs will decrease.
