Turbidity is caused by include organic materials such as algae, and inorganic materials such as silt and sediment. Suspended solids in a body of water are often due to natural causes. These natural solids include organic materials such as algae, and inorganic materials such as silt and sediment.
Turbidity Effects on Fish and Aquatic Life. The significance of excessive turbidity in water on fish and other aquatic life begins by modifying the temperature structure of lakes. Bottom temperatures are generally lower in turbid lakes or ponds than in clear ones. In many lakes, lower temperatures means lower productivity. Turbidity also interferes with the penetration of light.
