Fish Caught

In Florida

Fish Consumpt ion Advisories

are published periodically by the

State of Florida to alert consumers

about the possib ility of chemically

contaminated fish in Florida waters.

the public o f potential health risks

of specific fish species from specific

water bodies.

Fish from Florida Waters

Eating Fish is an important part of a healthy diet. Rich in vitamins and low in fat, fish contains

protein we need for strong bodies. It is also an excellent source of nutrition for proper growth and development. In fact,

the American Heart Association recommends that you eat two meals of fish or seafood every week.

At the same time, most Florida seafood has low to medium levels of mercury.Depending on the age of the fish, the type of fish, and the condition of the water the fish lives in, the levels of mercury

found in fish are different.

While mercury in rivers, creeks, ponds, and lakes can build up in some fish to levels that can be harmful,most fish caught in Florida can be eaten without harm.

Florida specific guidelines make eating choices easier. To lower the risk of harm frommercury found in fish caught in Florida, guidelines based on tests of various freshwater, marine and estuarine water

bodies are enclosed.This information should be used by everyone to determine the type and amount of fish to eat or

avoid.

Extra guidelines for women and young children. For most people, the risk of eating fish

exposed to mercury is not a health concern. However, developing fetuses and young children are more sensitive tothe harmful effects mercury has on the brain than other people. As a result, women of childbearing age and young

children should eat less fish than all others to avoid the higher health risks.

Eating fish from commercial, untested or unknown sources. Some fish you eat may not

have been caught from water bodies tested for mercury. In cases where women of childbearing age, and young

children do not know if the fish has been tested, or when it has been purchased from a store or restaurant, they should:o Not eat Shark, Swordfish, King Mackerel, or Tilefish because they contain high levels of mercury.o Eat up to 12 ounces a week of a variety of fish and shellfish that are lower in mercury. Commonly eaten seafood that are low

in mercury include Shrimp, canned Light Tuna, Salmon, Pollock, and Catfish ORo Only eat one 6 ounce meal per month of Largemouth bass, Bowfin and Gar ORo Eat up to 6 ounces of Albacore Tuna per week and a second meal of a fish low in mercury, since Albacore (“White Tuna”) has

more mercury than canned Light Tuna ORo Eat up to 6 ounces of fish per week from local water bodies not listed in the brochure.

How much fish is considered a meal portion? A meal is 6 ounces of cooked fish.

How would I determine the maximum amount of fish to eat each month? Based on

recommendations in the charts, the amount of fish eaten from each water body should be added together to figure

the maximum amount of fish to eat monthly. Fish from commercial, untested, or unknown sources should also be

included when figuring the total amount of fish consumed each month.

Most freshwater fish caught in Florida can be eaten without harm. Bream (such as Bluegill, Redear sunfish,

Redbreast sunfish or Spotted sunfish) and marine fish such as Mullet, Snappers, Pompano, Flounder , and Dolphin are

generally low in mercury. Review the list of water bodies in this brochure to learn which fish can be consumed regularly

and which should be avoided.

AVOID PUFFER OR SUFFER



the toxin. This toxin also has no taste, color or smell. If you experience any of the symptoms mentioned, contact your

physician or visit the emergency room immediately.

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission prohibits the harvesting of puffer fish from the Indian River

Lagoon and all other Florida waters of Brevard, Martin, Indian River,Volusia,and St.Lucie Counties.
