No because fish actually eat algae.
Answer:
Some algae are prolific producers of oil but this oil is usually contained in the algae. When algae are in water which is eutrophied (has lots of nutrients) they can reproduce in great numbers. When the food is gone or the weather changes these algae die and clump up in algal blooms. These are rotting masses of algae. The decomposing algae can release oil into the water.

Other algae have a flavor and can taint the water for use as a drinking supply. Some algae grow to excess and produce rotting clumps of algae (algal blooms) which pollute the water aesthetically and as a drinking water supply.

These plants absorb water, mineral nutrients and CO2 from water from cell wall of each cell. Multiplication in Algae is very rapid through fragmentaton and cell division. To overcome adverse conditions there are specialized cells for perination.
