Do you know about fertilizer runoff? Do you KNOW that commercial
fisheries are disallowed from harvesting ANYTHING from Lake Michigan
because it is so contaminated with carcinogens? Look it up, Banjo
Boy, before you open your fat mouth again on this newsgroup.
FACT:
fish in Lake Michigan are not fit for Human Consumption because of
high concentrations of toxins from the water.

Fishing Lake Michigan provides some of the best fishing for steelhead,
coho salmon, perch, chinook salmon, rainbow trout, lake trout, brown
trout, smallmouth bass, largemouth bass and walleye in the Midwest.
This web site contains Fishing reports, information, techniques and
tips for fishing from a large or small boat, shore and the harbors, or
tributary rivers and creeks.

Wisconsin Sea Grant releases Dioxin Study
Normal lake trout sac fry
(IMAGE)
Lake trout sac fry exhibiting blue sac disease symptoms after exposure
to dioxin (TCDD) in laboratory tests. Note deformed skull and excess
fluid in yolk sac. Hemorrhaging is also evident as dark blotches in
the fry's body.

The Headline read "CAUSE FOUND FOR GREAT LAKES TROUT REPRODUCTION
FAILURE" leaving many confused on the issue of natural reproduction of
great lakes lake trout and other salmonids
A study released by Richard E. Peterson, a toxicology professor at the
UW-Madison School of Pharmacy and Wisconsin Sea Grant showed data
suggesting that dioxins and related chemicals may have contributed to
the extinction of lake trout in Lake Ontario prior to 1960 and to the
recruitment failure of stocked lake trout since then.
Peterson described how dioxin contributed to survival of sac fry in
early development stages, however, inconsistent with Peterson's
findings, healthy lake trout fry have been collected in Lake Michigan,
and other great lakes, from time to time for nearly twenty years.
EPA Pressuring Michigan on Fish Advisories
michigan
Despite EPA's threats to release it's own advisory, Michigan stands
behind Science Boards findings.
Based on the results of its review of the available information, the
MESB Panel concludes that the data presented by the ATSDR and USEPA do
not alter the original findings or conclusions presented in September
1995 by the MESB - CGLG Special Fish Advisory Panel. In particular,
the recently published Jacobson and Jacobson (1996) data, which
indicates that the fetus is more susceptible than adults to potential
harm from fish consumption.
Editor's note: THAT'S =HUMAN= FETUS IS MORE SUSCEPTIBLE THAN ADULTS TO
POTENTIAL HARM FROM FISH CONSUMPTION.

HAVE A LOOK AT THIS:

Reproductive problems, tumors, and other deformities are still being
detected in certain fish and wildlife populations in most of the Great
Lakes. Similarly, consumption advisories recommending restrictions on
eating certain species and sizes of Great Lakes fish still remain. The
United States and Canada have agreed upon a virtual elimination policy
for toxic contaminants under the auspices of the Great Lakes Water
Quality Agreement. Remedial action plans are being developed by
federal and state agencies in cooperation with local municipalities
and local citizens to eliminate beneficial use impairments in the most
contaminated rivers, harbors, and bays in the Great Lakes. Continued
long-term monitoring of contamination in fish is required to determine
the success of these programs and to guide where further corrective
actions may be necessary.
