The correct answer is Option 2) Algal blooms caused by excess of organic matter in water improve water quality and promote fisheries.

This statement is not correct. Algal blooms caused by excess organic matter, particularly from sources like agricultural runoff or sewage pollution, can have negative impacts on water quality. The excessive growth of algae can deplete oxygen levels in the water, leading to oxygen-deprived zones harmful to aquatic organisms. It can also block sunlight from reaching other aquatic plants, affecting their growth. Additionally, algal blooms can lead to the release of toxins harmful to fish and other organisms.
