My somewhat informed opinion is that any chloramine that is "dumped" into
rivers which then flow into the ocean is diluted SO much that it becomes
negligible to the fish. Also, although chloramines do not degrade as quickly
as free chlorine, they do degrade and thus are not building up and up in the
oceans. This is not true of some other chemicals, however.

I've heard about chloramine in tap water, and that it is very hard to
get out of the water, and that it kills fish, including salt water
fish. Well, all that tap water runs into the oceans, which contain a
lot of salt water fish. Does chloramine in ocean water naturally
decompose?
