Present
study consists an intense Microcystis aeruginosa bloom was reported in
Muttukadu backwater on 1st June 2012. Density of M. aeruginosa was
reported an average of 6×108/L. Muttukadu backwater is highly
polluted due to discharges from households and industries located along the
banks of the estuary. The effect of pollution was reflected on microalgae
abundance in the sew age-fed area. This study showed that the M. aeruginosa bloom
has caused severe fish mass mortality attributed to the toxic effects exerted
by this cyanobacteria bloom.
