Other governments' fish eating advisory info - OldTimer - 04-06-2014 04:35 PM
Hey,
A recent post by fishfight on Maine licences - got me looking around the government of Maine, USA website re fishing info.
In this I came across their consumption advisory info on what fish to eat/not eat or restrict in your diet.
There were some surprises for me here - both good and bad........... re canned white tuna versus light tuna, fresh caught bluefish, halibut steaks, smelt........ and more
Worth reading - Look around yourself:

I met a guy a couple of weeks ago who worked generating some of these types of consumption guidelines. His key point to me was that these estimates were almost always based on lifetime consumption. He says that, in general, the guidelines tend to be very conservative.

pickerel looks like a pike.

It's a "chain pickerel"................. lots of these in Maine.

Boy that advisory about Striped Bass and Bluefish sure was depressing. I hope that's not the general trend for our finned dinner guests

Think about this - My problem is that they have advisories out on canned white tuna as well............ how come Ontario don't if it's true?
Regards- Confused and contaminated apparently,

pretty sure skipjack tuna is the safest canned one to eat.
