Description In 2014, the Department of Ecology collected largemouth and smallmouth bass from six waterbodies as part of a long-term monitoring study to assess mercury trends. A total of 60 individual bass were analyzed for total mercury. Results were compared to bass previously sampled from the waterbodies in 2009. Samples were collected from Banks Lake, Failor Lake, Kitsap Lake, Pierre Lake, the Snake River, and Lake Whatcom. This report also summarizes temporal trends from all water bodies re-sampled after a five-year period as part of this program.
