So does less daphnia mean more algae too? This is very concerning. Maybe biologists can produce daphnia in lab and put them back in our ecosystem? (sounds like a silly idea, I know.)

Yes, it probably means more algae since daphnia are one of the main algae grazers in many freshwater systems.
Breeding and releasing these into lakes sound like a huge challenge, and I'm not even sure it would work, since the chemical receptors are still going to be "blocked" when they get released into the lakes.
