Blue-green algae (''Microcystis aeruginosa'') is a type of phytoplankton that is found in ponds and other freshwater environments. They arise following long spells of hot dry weather and hence bloom in the summer but are also assosiated with high levels of phosphate and nitrate in the water. These algae can be extremely toxic and can poision livestock, birds and sometimes dogs.
