they are not the same thing.

a red tide comes from dinoflagellate called Karenia brevis. They release neurotoxins that kill wildlife.

Brevetoxin is heat-stable and is not killed during the cooking process.
• Commercial seafood found in restaurants and grocery stores is strictly
regulated and is harvested from waters free of red tide.
• For recreational anglers fishing in red tide-affected waters:
• Finfish caught live are safe to eat after being gutted.
• Shrimp and crabs are safe to eat. Though these crustaceans are
commonly referred to as shellfish, they are not affected by red tide.
• It is illegal to harvest distressed or dead animals. Do not touch or eat
fish floating on the water or washed up on shore.
• Call the Texas Department of State Health Services at (800) 685-0361 for
a 24-hour recording of the status of harvesting areas for oysters, clams,
whelks, and mussels. Additional questions concerning harvesting areas
can be addressed to the Austin central office at (512) 834-6757.
• Clams, mussels, whelks, oysters and other filter-feeding shellfish
become toxic during red tides and should not be eaten. They can
cause a serious food poisoning in humans called Neurotoxic Shellfish
Poisoning. These shellfish can be toxic without any visible sign of
red tide.
