Algae have always posed a challenge to water treatment plants, either through their tendency to clog filters, or due to issues such as taste and odour, while free floating filamentous and blue green algae, (cyanobacteria) are a constant problem in aquatic environments. In the nutrient rich, oxygenated waters found in aquaculture algal blooms compete with fish and crustacea for dissolved oxygen and nutrients. Potassium permanganate could be used to kill algae effectively to solve the problem.
