An algal bloom of dinoflagellates that causes fish kills is called?

A harmful algal bloom (HAB) caused by dinoflagellates that leads to fish kills is commonly referred to as a red tide. Dinoflagellates produce toxins that can affect marine life, including fish, by disrupting their nervous system and causing respiratory distress, ultimately leading to fish kills. Monitoring and managing red tides are essential to protect marine ecosystems and public health.


How does algal bloom affect a body of water?

An algal bloom can cause harm to a body of water by depleting oxygen levels, blocking sunlight from reaching other aquatic plants, and releasing toxins that may be harmful to fish and other organisms. This can disrupt the ecosystem, leading to fish kills and impacting water quality.

What is the major cause of low desolved oxygen in the natural cause of fish kills?

The commonest cause of a fish kill is an Aerobic Bacterial bloom. The sequence is commonly caused by firstly high amounts of runoff carrying fertilisers to the river caused by high rainfall or storms. This supply of extra plant food encourages algaes to form and bloom. These algaes then use up this excess food, bloom and die. Aerobic bacteria are then needed to decompose the dead algae and the oxygen demand of the bacteria depletes the oxygen in the water resulting in a fish kill.
