Answer 2

Good Morning!

C. Fish could no longer survive because of the decreased salinity.


The Aral Sea is now less than 10% of its reserves due to poor management of its transposition. In addition, a process of intense desertification began to occur, which contributes to its reduction. The contamination occurred due to the transposition process and to this day there are problems for the region. Desalination, however, is not an aggravating problem for fish death in Aral.
