I know that sport fishers have been watrned against
eating some sport fish due to toxins that originated
with phyto plankton. It gets concentrated by anchovys
and sardines. Then keeps geting concentrated up the
food chain.
Figure that the birds and seals are up there at the top.
I'm not sure that is the case here, but it sounds likely
that it all relates to the spring plankton bloom.
