  The problem of 'Algal Bloom' is a grave problem in all areas of standing water. The problem seems, in the main, to be one of lack of oxygen. I have noticed fish seek out the shallows to gasp for oxygen near the surface. It may be that the water is most disturbed in these areas so more oxygen is dissolved there than mid-pond. This problem has occupied the minds of many academic teams and many partially-effective treatments proposed.
  Old tights stuffed with barley straw (to filter out the microscopic algae), the planting of water cress at or near the inflow point of fertilizer-rich streams (to greatly reduce the nitrogen levels) and the use of compressed-air pumps [warning 'F' word approaching!] to create water-oxygenating Fountains.
