Algae, a type of plant, grows rapidly and covers the surface of a small pond. How might this affect the ecosystem of the pond?

They do not get enough oxygen and die.

The algae might get other organisms living in the pond such as fish sick by polluting the water they swim in and some fish tend to avoid touching some types of algae. Plus too much algae can cause imbalances.
