Specific mechanism is described here. It's the bacterial decomposition of the algae rather than the algael bloom itself which directly prompts the issue.
A bit of hair splitting, but useful for understanding what's going on.

What specific species are you referring to?
>Blue-green algae produce oxygen.
That is only true during daylight. At night algae consume oxygen.
Independently, photosynthetic activity can increase pH values drastically.
