| Description | In recent years, studies have documented mercury at levels of concern in freshwater fish from several waterbodies in Washington. However, limited information is available on the statewide distribution and magnitude of mercury in edible freshwater fish tissue. Also information is lacking on environmental factors that may influence the uptake of mercury into freshwater fish. To address these data gaps, Ecology will collect and analyze fish, sediment, and water samples from eighteen lakes and two rivers statewide. Data generated from this study will be used, in conjunction with existing data, to evaluate the need for additional consumption advisory studies and to aid in designing a long-term monitoring program for mercury. |
