| Study Type | Bioaccumulation study |
| Study Purpose | As a result of the Washington State Hg CAP, long-term fish tissue monitoring was initiated in 2005 (Seiders, 2006). To date, five years (2005 - 2009) of statewide tissue monitoring (30 sites) has been completed (Furl et al., 2007; Furl, 2007; Furl and Meredith, 2008; Furl et al., 2009b; Meredith et al., 2010). The highest concentrations of mercury in individual bass have been found at Lake Ozette located in the northwest corner of Washington’s Olympic Peninsula (Figure 1) in the Olympic National Park. In order to further investigate biological contamination at Lake Ozette, sockeye (Oncorhynchus nerka) from Lake Ozette will be analyzed for mercury concentrations. |

| Study QA Project Plan Description | Lake Ozette Sockeye salmon were collected by the Makah Nation Fisheries from the Umbrella Creek broodstock during the fall of 2009. Both fillet and whole body samples will be analyzed to characterize mercury concentrations. Results will be compared to applicable consumption criteria and other available data on sockeye in published literature. |
