Case Study- The Gippsland Lakes Ecosytem

Part 2:

a) If the cells are changing in the fishes' gills, they are proberably not working efficiently enough to keep them alive.

b) If i am a scientist I would first gather data about the number of fish dying and the types of species affected. I would also collect information about the changes in the PH of the lake aswell as the changes in salinity and temperature, aswell as any toxins entering the lake and compare these values with any recorded data from the past. I would also check to see if this type of problem has previously occured by checking records from the fisheries department aswell as surveying any locals.
