When fishing boats pull trawling nets through the water, manyfish avoid being caught by vigorously swimming away. Others,after vigorous escape swimming, get caught, but later arereleased because they are not of legal size or are not the speciesdesired. Fish that escape or are released sometimes die anyway.The accumulation of lactic acid from anaerobic work in such fishseems in certain cases to be a key factor in their deaths. Howcould a large lactic acid accumulation in a fish interfere with itsability to obtain enough O2 to survive?

Environmental effects

Environmental effect is the beneficial or adverse impact of human products, services, or activities on the environment. For example, the release of volatile organic compounds negatively affects the environment and causes smog formation. On the other hand, collecting litter and putting it in bins positively affects the environment.
