The month with the ¨R¨applies only to mussels. No other bivalves, and is due to the red tide.

No offense meant, but I call BS. All bivalves that filter for micro-food are susceptible to the bacteria of the red tide... clams, oysters, and the like.

This, in today's news about a massive anchovy die-off in Laguna Del Rey Harbor north of Los Angeles:

Low oxygen levels were blamed for the die-off of millions of sardines discovered one morning in March 2011 at King Harbor Marina in Redondo Beach, California. At the time, the Los Angeles Times reported that researchers found toxins in the dead fish that suggested a noxious algae bloom may have contributed to the mass kill. Algae blooms can consume massive amounts of oxygen in the water, creating dead zones. Some species of algae even produce neurotoxins that are deadly to people. For example, humans can die of paralytic shellfish poisoning if they eat shellfish that have fed on Alexandrium catenella, a type of algae responsible for so-called red tides.
