Why is it important for conditions in an aquatic system to be “just right”? How would too much or too little of an environmental factor, such as pH, alkalinity, hardness, dissolved oxygen, and CO2, impact an aquatic system? Since the majority of the coutries we are investigating are dependent upon fishing as a commodity, how would an unstable aquatic environment impact the country?
