The fish actually live inside the lake, actually breathing its water and eating its resources. If the lake gets polluted, the quality of the water, oxygen, and food will get worse, and fishes can't escaped from the lake. While birds can always just migrate or search for food and resources somewhere else

Answer:

Most often, shellfish and finfish either are unaffected by oil or are affected only briefly because most oils float and routes of exposure to organisms living in the water column or on the ocean floor are typically very limited. However, these animals can be substantially affected in some circumstances, especially when oil spills into shallow or confined waters.

Many shellfish species are relatively immobile and often are indiscriminate filter-feeders, which means they may not be able to avoid exposures to oil. In addition, they don’t possess the same suite of enzymes to breakdown contaminants as finfish and other vertebrates. Juvenile and adult finfish, on the other hand, usually are much more mobile, can be more selective in the foods they ingest, and have a variety of enzymes that allow them to detoxify many oil compounds. As a result, they are often better suited to limit oil exposures and related impacts.
