Pollution of an aquatic system is characterized by the change in the initial population structure
The diversity of aquatic species usually decrease if the pollution increase. Some species can sustain poorly oxygenated water due to various polution sources, for instance leeches, larvae from diptera. If it gets even worse, you will still have life from bacteria that will adapt to many conditions.
Dear Julien,
Thank you very much for your reply et for this valuable comment.

in polluted aquatic is existing very poor spices and most of them could be very dangerous for the bio diversity and human health.
With pollution there will be a shift in population. Many of you will be knowing the term "Indicator species". The presence of some species indicates clean waters and some species occur in polluted water.
At times the shift in population even if it does not impact human health directly may have other serious consequences. The decline in sardine fishery in the Arabian sea was at times linked to Nitzschia species (if I remember right)
Dear Zoran and Valsaraj,
Thank you very much for your reply. It is really appreciated.
