The water quality of the Biscayne Bay is measured
by the Biscayne Bay Water Quality Monitoring
Program. Scientists measure the salinity,
temperature, pH, and oxygen levels to help
determine the health of the Bay. Healthy water
also contains appropriate amounts of nutrients.
Monitoring water quality helps communities make
decisions about the Bay. Which of these would
likely be the most immediate result if the oxygen
levels in the Bay decreased by 90?
B. decrease in fish populations
A. decrease in salinity levels
C. increase in producer populations
D. increase in water temperature
