One important factor is the chemical balance present in the ecosystem.. Aquatic ecosystems are susceptible to many chemical changes. Usually if the chemistry of a “healthy” ecosystem changes, signs of this change will include sensitive organisms quickly declining in number or disappearing. These types of organisms are called .
