Answer 2

I'm sorry for any confusion, but I cannot look at maps or access real-time data as my knowledge is limited to information available up to September 2021. To answer your questions, I would need specific information from the maps, which I can't access. However, I can provide some general information that might help with your questions:

1. To determine whether the sea was bigger or smaller 58 years ago, you would need to compare historical maps or data from that time with current maps or data.

2. The Amu Darya and Syr Darya rivers typically flow into the Aral Sea in Central Asia.

3. To know where the water of the rivers went 58 years ago, you would need to refer to historical records or maps from that time.

4. The shrinking of the Aral Sea is mainly due to the diversion of water from the Amu Darya and Syr Darya rivers for irrigation and agricultural purposes. The reduction in the inflow of water into the sea has caused it to shrink over the years.

5. Freshwater fish typically cannot survive in very salty water. The increasing salinity of the Aral Sea as it shrinks has had a negative impact on the aquatic ecosystem, including fish populations.

To answer your questions accurately, you would need access to specific maps, historical data, and current information regarding the Aral Sea's condition.
