The red algae bloom in the San Francisco Bay killing hundreds, if not thousands, of fish since last week likely won't end for at least a couple weeks, as the warm weather gets hotter going into Labor Day weekend, according to experts.

Environmental agencies held a press conference Monday afternoon saying the bloom - which has been reported from the Dumbarton Bridge to Oakland's Lake Merritt and the Alameda Estuary, Oyster Point, Baywinds Park in Foster City, Hayward, Keller Beach, Point Molate, and Sausalito - may come from a harmful species called Heterosigma akashiwo.
