Water cannot travel uphill so all watersheds are determined by topography, or the physical shape and features of an area of land.

Significant death rates occurs when the dissolved oxygen rates are higher than 115%-120%. Healthy water is considered to be between 80%-120% or 6.5 to 8 mg/L.

When this occurs, they need more dissolved oxygen and more food supply. If the amount of dissolved oxygen needed is unavailable, they may die.

Too much in an ecosystem will affect the function of a food chain because as you keep going up in the food chain, the concentration of mercury keeps increasing.

If there is too much oxygen found in the water, then it will lead to "Gas Bubble Disease" which causes the gas to block the bloodflow in the blood vessels of the fish. If there is too little, then aquatic life won't be able to be supported.
