Swimmers pee in the lake caused 500 dead fish

When swimming, urinating in the pool, lake, or a place to swim is not only considered inappropriate, but also can cause fatal to other creatures. At least that is expressed by a group of anglers blame the swimmers who like to pee in one of the lakes near the German states of Hamburg, as reported to The Local.

"Swimmers who pee in the lake spread a lot of phosphate. We counted about half a liter of urine per person a day," accused a spokesman for the angler, Mandred Sidler.

So why the anglers are furious with the swimmers who pee in the lake? Apparently a lot of dead fish, about 500 head, because habit of urinating in the lake swimmers and cause difficulty in obtaining the angler fish.

According to the site IO9.com, basically urine did not directly kill fish, but there are a series of natural events that make the fish feel crowded. Urine is fertile blue-green algae in the water. The algae also thrive and spend a share of the oxygen in the water. When it dies and decays, algae still absorb as much oxygen as possible. This then causes the fish to die.

Now the lake in Germany are closed to swimmers because of the algae that makes the swimmer's body itch.Meanwhile, a spokesman for the environmental officer, Kerstin Graupner, said that the ice-skating activities that actually cause the fish in the lake died. Because noise from ice-skating disturbing the fish hibernation.

But Graupner also still investigating the cause of dead fish, the angler for reasons quite reasonable according to a study mentioned in the lake algae also produce toxins that make fish suffocation and death.
