WE are working with the Texas Parks and Wildlife to restock our pond, however since this is a state-wide issue we don't have an exact date for the restock yet.

Blue-Green Algae Information IBlue Green AI ae.docx 61 ue-green J gae B I ue-green algae are a1 so cal I ed cyanobacteri a because they are bi of ogi cal I y si m i I ar to bacteria in many ways. As single cel Is, I arge colonies and f i I aments, blue-green algae grow in a wide variety of conditions and can become dominant in nutrient-rich water bodies. One characteristic of these cyanobacteri a is their abi I i ty to form blooms so thick it appears that blue-green pad nt covers the surface of the water. Two forms found in Texas are known to produce substances which cause taste and odor problems in water supplies. I n some cases, blue-green algae, particularly Anabaena and Microcystis(both found i n Texas), can produce toxi ns that are poi sonous to fish and w I dl i f e that dri nk water contami nated with the toxi ns. Fi sh ki I I s have occurred i n private stock ponds as a result of bl ue-green algal blooms and there have been a feN reports of I ivestock dyi ng from drinking water contaminated with blue-green toxins. I n addition to toxicity to fish and wildlife, there are documented cases of bl ue-green al gad toxi ns harm ng humans i n other parts of the world through the consumption of poorly treated waters. Awareness is grow ng of the need to ensure bl ue-green al gad toxi ns do not pass through water treatment pl ants without bei ng adequately removed.
