Algal blooms are dangerous high concentrations of toxins that impair liver and nervous-system function in aquatic animals and humans produced by quickly growing algae populations. 

Algae are autotrophic protists that can be unicellular or multicellular. They  are responsible for about 70% of the oxygen production in aquatic environments.
