Eutrophication of water bodies leading to killing of fishes is mainly due to non-availability of:

1. light
2. essential minerals
3. oxygen
4. food

Correct answer: oxygen

Solution

Eutrophication causes rapid algal growth, and when the algae die, decomposers use up dissolved oxygen during decomposition. Fish then die because the water becomes oxygen-deficient.
