The California Department of
Fish and Wildlife does not.issue
health advisories, but relies
upon public health experts who
do. In particular, the California
Deparfment of Public Health,
the Office of Environmental
Health Hazard Assessment, the
California State Water
Resources Control Board and
local public health
departments.
Health advisories can be
issued for bodies of water based
upon possible contamination of
the fish or of the water itself.
Reports from agencies,
including the U.S. Geological
Society, about mercury
contamination residue in the
Middle and North Forks of the
Feather River from gold mining
long, long ago continue. Fish,
amphibians and invertebrates
consume mercury. This keeps
the element in the area as it is
passed from one creature to the
nex as food.
The last five pages of the
Freshwater Fishing
Regulations booklet address
safe preparation guidelines and
consumption advice for those
who regularly eat sport-caught
fish. In that section is found the
OEHHA advisories on
mercury.
Experts advise the following:
striped bass, carp or brown
trout over 16 inches should not
be consumed by women
between the ages of 18 and 45 or
by children between the ages of
1 and 17. Unborn babies and
children are more likely to
have health problems from
chemicals in the fish.
Understanding mercury
levels can help consumers
make informed decisions about
what fish to eat from different
fishing destinations. Using
referenced advisories from
public health professionals
provide the ability to stay up to
date on current conditions and
stay safe while enjoying time
outdoors.
