Fish Consumption Advisories, 1997 National Listing of
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Office of Water
This database includes all available information describing state-, tribal-, and federally issued fish consumption advisories in the United States for the 50 States, the District of Columbia, and four U.S. Territories, and has been expanded to include the 12 Canadian provinces and territories. The database contains information provided to EPA by the states, tribes, and Canada as of December 1997. This includes advisories issued by the great Lakes Fish and Wildlife Commission for several Native American tribes in Michigan, Minnesota, and Wisconsin. The number of advisories in the U.S. rose by 125 in 1997 to a total of 2,299, a 5% increase over 1996. The number of waterbodies under advisory represents 16.5% of the nation's total lake acres and 8.2% of the Nation's total river miles. In addition, 100% of the Great Lakes waters and their connecting waters and a large portion of the nation's coastal waters are also under advisory. The total number of advisories in the U.S. increased for three major contaminants (mercury, dioxin, and DDT) but declined for PCB's. However, 30 new advisories for PCB's were issued nationwide. Current Canadian advisories have resulted from contamination from one or more of the following five pollutants: mercury, PCBs, dioxin/furans, toxaphene, and mirex. Of the 2,572 advisories, 94% resulted from mercury contamination in fish tissues. In addition, 86% were issued by the provinces of Ontario and Quebec. Two province wide advisories for mercury are in effect for New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. You should download the following executable to your temp directory (c:\temp\ for example). The help card (PDF format, 28K) contains installation instructions while the fact sheet (PDF format, 244K) contains additional information on the database itself.
