Algae can produce toxins that may then accumulate in filter-feeding shellfish. Use of Phosphate-based fertilizers on farms may lead to algal blooms in costal waters leading to toxin production. These toxins may cause Paralytic Shellfish Poisoning (PSP) & other similar poisonings. Algal toxins are not destroyed by cooking.
