Most of the water in the Amazon River comes from glacial melt in the Andes, located in the western Amazon, and the types of rain created by the trees of the Amazon. The great river starts in the Andes and flows west to east, then it has a drainage basin of over 7000000 square kilometers, which is almost 40% of South America.
Due to the immense size
of the basin and the variety of aquatic habitats, the Amazon basin contains the
largest share of freshwater species in the world. The Freshwater species of the
Amazon usually comprise fish, crustaceans, mollusks, and insect larvae, which a
good number of aquatic animals eat. Land-inhabiting salamanders, mammals, and
birds also consume these. The Amazon River basin has a minimum of three
thousand species of freshwater fish. Despite having such a large number and
variety of species, the information on Amazonian aquatic species is very
limited due to the difficulty posed by studying such an extensive river system.
Apart from the above
services, Amazon also provides important services related to the ecosystem,
such as the transport of nutrients and sediment. Water for agriculture, power
generated by hydroelectric plants, and transportation are provided to humans by
it as well.
Although many of the
rivers in Amazonia remain relatively untouched, they are beginning to be
jeopardized by the construction of dams, roads, and additional infrastructure.
The addition of pollution further exacerbates the situation, particularly from
nearby agricultural or industrial activities, as water-dwelling organisms are
vulnerable to alterations in the biogeochemistry of their environment. The
mercury left behind from illegal mining operations is one of the most hazardous
contaminants because it’s nearly impossible for the substance to degrade.
Instead, it accumulates in sediments or is absorbed by algae and other
plankton. Plankton-eating organisms that feed on such plankton do not excrete
the mercury that is stored in their tissues. Consequently, species that are
further down the food chain tend to bioaccumulate mercury. The highest
concentration of mercury tends to be found in older and larger fish and in
predatory birds. This is highly risky because mercury, a potent neurotoxin that
injures the central nervous system, will affect the wildlife and humans
consuming the contaminated fish, which is a major health concern.
