FA growing on various submerged vascular plants (epiphytic) indicates there is an excess of nutrients that are not being used by the vascular plants. Normally FA only grows when where is an excess of unused nutrients. When natural waters are balanced in terms of water quality and plants (vegetation) very little FA grows. Notice amount of FA in many better quality larger lakes.
