Abstract Dense populations of the blue-green alga, Anabaena variabilis, frequently develop in fish ponds at Auburn, Alabama, during windy weather in March and early April. Massive die-offs of this alga can be expected when it forms surface scums during prolonged periods of calm, clear, warm weather between mid April and mid May. Dissolved oxygen concentrations decline following die-offs and fish kills may result.
