Latest CA Advisory; Women Of Childbearing Age, Kids Should Avoid All White Sturgeon, Striped Bass
Children and women of childbearing age should avoid eating any striped bass or white sturgeon caught in California, the state Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment says Wednesday.
Both fish are popular with those who fish in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta.
The OEHHA health advisory is part of its new safe eating guidelines for some of California’s most popular sport fish species.
The new guidelines include recommendations for safe consumption to minimize health risks from contaminants – particularly mercury and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) -- in five species of fish that are born in fresh water, spend much of their lives in the ocean, and return to fresh water to spawn.
