spp. •Very tiny, rootless floating plant; slightly larger than a
grain of sand. •Resembles a blue-green algae bloom from a
distance. •Forms a layer on surface that is at the will of the
wind; may cover an entire pond if conditions are calm; heavy
infestations can shade sunlight required for oxygen synthesis
and fish productivity. Often found in association with
duckweeds.
