Dilip, There definitely is some cyanobacteria (blue/green algae) in the lake. The toxins that will be released can be fatal to the fish and any animals that drink the water. One very efficient and non-imntrusive way to get rid of the algae is ultrasonics. You will not need chemicals of any kind and will disturb any part of the ecosystem. You just put the unit in the water run it on and walk away. In only two to three weeks the algae will die off allowing the water to bo clearer and much more habitable for the fish and other aquatic species. Contact me if you would like more information.

When using ultrasonication, does this release the toxins into the water as well as killing the cyanobacteria? Also, the dead/broken apart cyanobacteria will still decompose- does this decrease Dissolved Oxygen in the water body? Very curious about this approach!
