Zombie salmon vs. Fertilizer in waterways

173 viewsBiologyOther

I just learned about zombie salmon today. I also learned about how this mass die off of salmon after spawning provides nutrients that the whole river ecosystem can benefit from.

I also know that man made fertilizers in our waterways is considered harmful to these same ecosystems.

What’s the difference? Deteriorating fish and man made fertilizers both release nutrients, how come one is considered bad but the other positive?

Zombie salmons are like once a year events. Fertilizer runoff lasts longer and more is released in the water.
