What You Need to Know about
Fishing is a great pastime and tradition in Oklahoma.
Fish provide many benefits that are essential for a healthy
diet; however, some fish pose a higher risk due to mercury
contamination. The Oklahoma Department of Environmental
Quality (DEQ) encourages Oklahomans to go fishing and
enjoy eating the fish they catch. Just keep in mind that not all
fish should be eaten in unlimited amounts. By following these
guidelines, you can make safe, informed choices for you and
your family and still enjoy the sport of fishing.
Source of the Problem
Mercury is an element that is released to the atmosphere
through man-made activities such as mining, manufacturing,
coal-fired utilities, sewage releases, landfills, and industries
or from natural processes such as forest fires, volcanic
eruptions, erosion or the weathering of rocks. Mercury falls
out of the air by sticking to dust particles or gets washed out
by rain or snow and then runs o๎ข into streams and lakes. This
process is referred to as deposition. When moving through
the environment, mercury goes through a series of complex
changes (see illustration on page 5). When these changes
occur in lake and river sediments, some of the mercury can be
converted to organic formโmethyl mercury. Methyl mercury
enters the food chain and bio-accumulates mostly in predator
species of fish. It can then be passed on to people who eat
these fish.
Health Impacts from Mercury Exposure
Mercury mostly impacts nerve cells in the brain and spinal
cord, especially in unborn babies and young children. The more
mercury that enters into a personโs body, the longer the exposure
time, and the younger the person, the more severe the e๎ขects
are likely to be. Mercury is most harmful to the developing

brains of unborn children and young children. Mercury can
interfere with the way nerve cells move into position as the brain
develops, resulting in abnormal brain development. Prenatal
exposure to mercury can a๎ขect the way children think, learn,
and problem-solve later in life. Negative impacts can also occur
in adults at much higher doses. The earliest obvious signs of
mercury poisoning in adults are tingling or numbness of the lips,
tongue, fingers, or toes; fatigue; and blurred vision.
Catching Fish
Some fish contain unsafe levels of mercury. The amount of
mercury in fish varies depending on the type of fish; their size,
weight and age; what they eat; and where they live.
It is impossible to visually determine whether fish in a lake,
pond, or stream are safe to eat without testing the fish that are
being caught and consumed. It is important to read DEQโs fish
consumption guidelines before going out to fish. To reduce
health risks, please follow these guidelines:
โข Eat younger, smaller non-predatory fish
โข Eat species of fish that are known to have lower
concentrations of mercury such as Black Crappie,
Channel Catfish, Rainbow Trout, Sunfish (Bluegill,
Green, Redear, Longear and Warmouth) and
White Crappie
DEQ is in the process of testing lakes in the state; however, it will
not be possible to test every species of fish in every body of water.
If a lake or species has not been tested,If a lake or species has not been tested,
then follow this advice:then follow this advice:
Advice for the General Population:
Since women beyond child-bearing age and men older than 15
years of age are at less risk for the e๎ขects of mercury, these
groups may continue to eat a variety of fish, including predators,
as part of a healthy diet unless specifically advised otherwise.
Advice for the Sensitive Population:
If a lake has not been sampled, women of child-bearing age,
nursing mothers, pregnant women, and children up to the age of
2
15 should consume no more than one meal per week of predator
fish. Predator fish include Flathead Catfish, Hybrid Striped Bass,
Largemouth Bass, Saugeye, Smallmouth Bass, Spotted Bass,
Striped Bass, Walleye and White Bass.
The Good News
Fish provide many health benefits and is an important part of a
balanced diet. Fish are a good source of protein, and are high in
omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins, nutrients and minerals.
The EPA and FDA recommend that women who are or may
become pregnant, nursing mothers, and children starting at
the age of two; eat 8 to 12 ounces of non-predatory fish species
per week, unless there is a consumption advisory that has been
issued for a specific lake.
Non-predatory fish that are good low-mercury choices include
Black Crappie, Channel Catfish, Rainbow Trout, Sunfish (Bluegill,
Green, Redear, Longear and Warmouth) and White Crappie.
Occasionally eating fish, such as on an annual vacation that has
recommended consumption limits does not pose a significant
health risk.
The fish in these Oklahoma lakes have been tested and have
lower levels of mercury. Fish from these lakes can be eaten often
without excessive exposure to mercury.

Advisory Information
Fish from the following lakes have been tested and some
species and size ranges have mercury levels high enough
that consumption should be limited. Only fish in the size
ranges indicated have high mercury levels. Fish smaller than
the indicated sizes or other species are safe to eat without
excessive exposure to mercury.
**Attention: Our recommendations and advisories are based
on the data that DEQ collects and do not factor in the Oklahoma
Wildlife Departmentโs (ODWC) daily size limit regulations that
may be in e๎ect. Please check Oklahomaโs Department of Wildlife
Conservation for state and local regulations that might apply.

NOTE:
Meal size equals 8 ounces (proportionally smaller for
children). The following pages describe safe guidelines for
consuming fish caught in Oklahoma lakes. Guidelines for each
fish listed are divided into two categories:
Sensitive Population: Women of child bearing age, pregnant
or nursing mothers, and children up to age 15
General Population: Males age 15 and older and women
past childbearing age
Advisories are based on consumption amounts of:
No advisory: These fish have lower levels of mercury
and can be eaten often safely.
Two meals per month: Consume no more than two meals per
month of fish in the size ranges listed. Fish smaller than the
size ranges listed have no consumption restrictions.
Consumption not recommended: Do not consume fish
within size range listed
