18) Data Analysis Aquatic Organism pH Range for Life Clam 4.5 - 5.0 Snail 5.0 - 9.0 Bass 5.5 - 9.0 Crayfish 5.5 - 8.5 Mayfly 5.5 - 9.0 Salamander 6.0 - 8.0 Trout 6.0 - 8.5 Perch 6.5 - 8.5 Frog 7.0 - 9.5 Acid rain throughout the northeast United States has lowered the pH of many ponds and lakes. The lowered pH will eventually result in the death of many aquatic animals. Compare the map of the U. S. with the pH tolerance range for the organisms listed. Based on the tolerances seen here, which aquatic organisms are least likely to survive in the northeastern states? A) Only the clam will survive. B) All of the aquatic organisms will die. C) All the organisms with a lower limit of 5.0 will survive. D) All of the fish species will die; the others will survive.
