The dinoflagellate causes illness. A diatom is a very small type of hard shelled plankton.
So dinoflagellate causes poisoning.

dinoflagellate sometimes bloom in concentrations of more than a million cells per milliliter. Some species produce neurotoxins, which in such quantities kill fish and accumulate in filter feeders such as shellfish, which in turn may pass them on to people who eat them. which causes food poison
