Live algae produces oxygen through photosynthesis near the surface. Dead algae rots and the rotting process consumes oxygen. O2 levels are typically lower at the bottom where the dead algae has fallen to rot. Since photosynthsis only happens during the day, O2 levels will typically drop overnight as oxygen is consumed by the decomposition process.
