Missoulian: CSKT,
FWP update lake trout consumption guidelines after mercury tests
CSKT, FWP Issue Lake Trout Consumption Guidelines for Flathead Lake
“The guidelines were developed jointly by CSKT and FWP from a large data set of lake trout that were tested for mercury by researchers at Salish Kootenai College. The large sample allowed for fine tuning of mercury levels for lake trout of various sizes. Lake trout are predators and the older, larger fish accumulate more mercury, making them less safe to eat. In fact, it is recommended that consumption of lake trout longer than 30-inches should be avoided.”
