    Solution:

    Blooms of cyanobacteria or algae greatly reduce oxygen levels at night, when they respire. As the cyanobacteria and algae die, microbes consume a great deal of oxygen as they decompose the extra biomass. Thus, rapid nutrient enrichment results in oxygen depletion of the water. Fishes that have a high oxygen requirement cannot survive in such an environment.
