[ Post a Response | StriperChaser Fishing News and Views ]
Posted by StriperChaser on January 2, 2005, 8:47 pm Striped bass, prized both for their sporting qualities and their firm, mild flesh, are at the heart of arguably the most significant advisories, at least in terms of angler impact. Unlike fishermen who target other affected species, such as Smith Mountain Lake's largemouth bass, most anglers who catch stripers keep the fish to eat. The danger is not immediate, or even a certainty. But scientists know that PCBs build up over time, in fish and in whatever eats those fish. And scientists know that PCBs are a carcinogen. Limiting our intake to no more than two meals per month helps minimize, or perhaps eliminates, any chance of us ingesting enough of the stuff over time to cause cancer.
