I never eat shell fish that are "filter feeders" who obtain nourishment by siphoning in water and filtering out the phytoplankton, what they eat. People can die from eating the contaminated shellfish. It paralyzes the system.
But what's interesting is that so called Red Tides are not new. There's a theory that the first of the 10 plagues of Egypt, described in Exodus, may be one of the earliest recorded instances of a red tide ("... and all the waters that were in the river turned to blood. And the fish that were in the river died, and the water stank ...").
Isn't that interesting? |
