Acid rain can significantly lower the pH levels of lakes, making the water more acidic. This increased acidity can harm or kill fish and other aquatic life by disrupting their reproductive processes, damaging their gills, and altering the availability of essential nutrients. As a result, fish populations may decline or disappear altogether in heavily affected lakes. Additionally, the toxic effects of heavy metals leached from the soil due to acid rain can further contribute to the absence of fish.
