Another factor to consider when dealing with shellfish is that fluctuating temperatures would have produced blooms of algea much as we see on our coast during summer. Some of the algea blooms are toxic therefore rendering the shellfish toxic too hence the folk logic of only eating oysters when there is an 'R' in the month.
