Question

What is the primary reason that a hot spring will kill a fishplaced

Answer 1

The fish enzymes may not be able to sustain in the high temperature and the fish will die but if the bacteria belong to the thermophile strain then the bacteria will hey adapted to the high temperatures of hot spring.
