there. Towards the middle part of the stream or river, the width increases as does species, numerous aquatic green plants and algae can be found. Toward the mouth of the river or stream, the water becomes murky from all the sediments that it has picked up upstream, decreasing the amount of light that can penetrate through the water. Since there is less light, there is less types of plants, and because of the lower oxygen levels, fish that require less oxygen, such as catfish and carp, can be found.
