Respires is like respirates. that is , it used up the oxygen to "breath" although algae doesn't breath like a mamal.
Lots of tiemthe algae bloom is do to an over abundance of nitogen containing minerals in the water. That could come from a lot of things like the sewage and fertilizer mentioned.
Fish kills happen a lot but it appears to be spread out. I remember a fishkill in CT one time where the oxygen level was soo low the crabs were crawling out of the water onto the docks to get some air.
I would say it will effect the fishing. If its the only one , it shouldn't hurt on a large scale but if it happens a few times in the bay , then there would be no forage to keep the bass around the area during the fall run.
