Most likely, industrial runoff or other forms of pollution have lead to eutrophic conditions (too much phosphate, nitrate, or other chemicals in the water), which were a perfect environment for overgrowth of cyanobacteria (algae). Certain species of cyanobacteria produce toxins that can kill animals (including fish and humans), which killed the fish in the water.
Large colonies of cyanobacteria produce cyanotoxins such as anatoxins and saxitoxin that are poisonous to animals.
the name of the process is called algae bloom
its blocks the sunlight and uses up all the oxygen and marine life starts to die off.
they block the oxygen supply in the water
Algal Bloom will take oxygen out of bodies of water and will kill the fishes, but grown right it can make an excellent alternative to gasoline called algae biofuel.
A population explosion of algae is called an ALGAL BLOOM
Lack of sunlight or nutrients. Algae is essentially a type of plant. Think about typical household plants, if they don't have water, soil, or sunlight, they will die. But algae, unlike household plants, typically live in a body of water, so a lack of water normally is not a cause of death for them. Normally, algae die because there is not enough sunlight or nutrients, possibly because of an algae bloom (too much algae that use up sunlight and nutrients).
An overabundance of nutrients and lack of predators. Growth of the plants or algae can, if not eaten, cause a bloom.
Algal bloom is the process where algae turns the color red. This happens when there is a sudden burst of heat from the sun and the nutrients in the earth below the sea rise into the algae and some of the nutrients turns the algae red which in turn, makes the sea looks like it is the color red.
Algae, smaller fishes, fish bait.
Algal Bloom will take oxygen out of bodies of water and will kill the fishes, but grown right it can make an excellent alternative to gasoline called algae biofuel.
An algal bloom.
As it relates to algae, a massive bloom is a large outbreak in the water, which creates the "bloom."

algae bloom
Algal Bloom is the increasing amount of algae in an aquatic ecosystem.
small fishes
The rapid growth of a population of algae is called an algal bloom. This bloom is often triggered by an abundance of nutrients in the water, such as nitrogen and phosphorus, leading to exponential growth of algae species. Algal blooms can have negative impacts on aquatic ecosystems, including depleted oxygen levels and harm to wildlife.
