Summary

Nutrient-rich sewage can pollute and overnutrify estuary waters.

Overnutrified estuary waters cause algae to proliferate.

Abundant algae can be a food source for microorganisms that are toxic to fish.

These microorganisms kill most fish in the estuary.

Very Strongly Supported Conclusions

Abundant algae in an estuary can cause most fish in the estuary to die.

Overnutrified estuary waters can cause most fish in the estuary to die.

Nutrient-rich sewage pollution can cause most fish in an estuary to die.
