How to control benthic algae?
Initially culture the plankton in a reser\>oir and then shift the bloomed water to grow-out ponds. Avoid clear water at stocking by adding fertilizer as required. Even after these measures if the benthic algae develops then drag a heavy iron chain along pond bottom to dislodge the algae from the soil surface and then remove the floating benthic algae using a hand net.
