Fish Eating Guidelines for San Francisco Bay and Delta Region
Safe Fish Eating Guidelines from California's Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) for San Francisco Bay and Delta Region:
* Because of elevated levels of mercury, PCBs, and other chemicals, the following interim advisory has been issued. A final advisory will be issued when the data have been completely evaluated.
* Women beyond childbearing age and men should eat no more than two meals per month of San Francisco Bay sport fish, including sturgeon and striped bass caught in the delta. (One meal for an adult is about eight ounces).
* Women beyond childbearing age and men should not eat any striped bass over 35 inches.
* Women of childbearing age, pregnant, nursing mothers, and children should not eat more than one meal of fish per month. In addition, they should not eat any striped bass over 27 inches or any shark.
* This advisory does not apply to salmon, anchovies, herring, and smelt caught in the bay; other sport fish caught in the delta or ocean; or commercial fish.
* Richmond Harbor Channel area: In addition to the above advice, no one should eat any croakers, surfperches, bullheads, gobies or shellfish taken within the Richmond Harbor Channel area because of high levels of chemicals detected there.
Know what ya mean Kev, I banged a few Stripers in Jamaica bay a few years ago right next to the runway at JFK airport, I breaded one of the fillets and ate it, it was really tastey. I read the warnings a few day's later, I don't think I'll ever eat another one again.
your going to die one way or another. I typically practice catch and release so I don't have to practice catch and clean/cook. I did however bag my first ever stripped bass over 1 foot and I plan to enjoy it.
