Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Eutrophic lakes may have high microbial concentrations and high levels of nitrogen and phosphorus, resulting in increased algal growth and algal blooms. However, high populations of consumer aquatic animals are not characteristic of eutrophic lakes. Instead, these lakes may have reduced dissolved oxygen levels, leading to fish kills and other negative impacts on aquatic life.
