How does fish farming cause eutrophication?

eutrophication

Eutrophication is a term which indicates the presence of excess nutrients in water bodies like lakes, ponds, pools or artificially constructed structures, which causes conditions like algal blooms, etc. When fish are raised in these water bodies, not all the feed given to them is consumed. The uneaten food changes the organic composition of the water bodies and alters their oxygen levels thereby causing eutrophication.
