Rman - I have eaten tilapia (imported) that have the characteristic algae "odd or off flavor" due to what I consider is one or a few specific species of what I think are bluegreen algae. Note I have never examined algae in water that produces the "off flavor" in fish. I use only info that I have read in the literature for this assumption. For me the "off flavor" once learned is very recognizable. I have never observed this flavor in any of the locally pond grown tilapia.
