The free nitrogen in the atmosphere is fixed into nitrates, which then combine with water droplets and fall as nitrous and nitric acids. That raises the ph of the water, and is probably what is stunting the fish. A pool chemical test kit can give you the ph of your favorite fishing hole. Limestone powder id good for raising the ph, thus lowering the acidity.

The crops love all of that fixed nitrogen. Even a small amount of ammonia is made by lightning.
