The physico‐chemical and planktonic response and recovery of a shallow mountain lake in Arizona was closely monitored for a 2 1/2 year period following treatment with an algicide. The influential role blue‐green algal blooms exert on seasonal and annual lake dynamics was most obvious once nuisance populations were temporarily removed from the system. Differential sensitivity between algal species was observed. Cryptomonad flagellates were least sensitive to algicide treatment and were dominant during periods when dissolved organic materials appeared to increase. The effect of rotenone application on blue‐green bloom species is discussed.
