Introduction Alabama has over 77,000 miles of rivers and streams, 41 public lakes and reservoirs, and some of the most varied fish habitat in the United States. Fishing is a popular sport in Alabama, and provides many benefits, such as recreation and procurement of healthy food. Fish are high in protein, low in fat and cholesterol, and low calorie when prepared healthily.
Unfortunately, certain toxic chemicals have been found in some lakes and rivers in Alabama. Some of these chemicals can accumulate in fish. With some of the chemicals, higher levels of the contaminants can be found in older and/or larger fish. When chemical concentrations are elevated in fish, they can pose health risks to people who eat them. Sampling of fish provides the information (levels of contaminants) needed for issuing the advisories.
This advisory booklet was developed to inform people who eat Alabama fish as to which species of fish in which waterbodies may present an elevated health hazard.

Statewide Advice for AtRisk Women and Children*
Atrisk groups should follow the advice listed below.
Advice for atrisk groups:
Do NOT eat any king mackerel, shark, swordfish, or tilefish.
Limit white (albacore) tuna to 6 ounces a week.
Eat up to 12 ounces (2 average meals) a week of a variety of fish and shellfish that are lower in mercury.
Check local advisories about the safety of fish caught by family and friends in local lakes, rivers, and coastal areas.
Follow the recommendations listed above when feeding fish and shellfish to young children, but serve smaller portions.
- Atrisk groups include:
Babies Children under 14 Women who are nursing Women who are pregnant Women who plan to become pregnant Why are these groups at a greater risk?
Developing bodies, such as infants and small children, are at a greater risk since their brains and nervous systems are still forming.
The body naturally removes small amounts of contaminants, like mercury, but contaminants can build up in the body if too much is consumed.
Health problems can occur when there are too many harmful chemicals in the body.
To find out more, visit Environmental Protection Agencys (EPA) Website at www.epa.gov/ost/fish or go to the Food and Drug Administrations (FDA) Website at http://www.fda.gov/Food/ResourcesForYou/Consumers/ucm110591.htm Alabama Fish Consumption Advisories, ADPH, Released June 2016 4
Eating Fish & Your Health FAQs Why should I eat fish?
Fish are low in fat and contain omega3 fatty acids (boosts heart health).
Fish are a great source of protein, vitamins, and minerals.
Eating fish regularly can reduce your chances of having a stroke or heart attack.
To get all the benefits, you should eat fish at least 2 meals each week, but remember to choose the right fish to eat. NOTE: Breading and frying fish decreases health benefits.
What is an advisory?
An advisory is a recommendation.
The advisory will list a lake, stream, or river in Alabama and tell you the type of fish and the amount of fish that is safe to eat.
If a waterbody or type of fish is not listed in the tables, it means that ADPH has not issued any consumption advice.
Here are the reasons that ADPH may not issue an advisory:
The waterbody has not been sampled There is not enough data The waterbody is privately owned How Does the Alabama Department of Public Health (ADPH) determine a waterbody should have an advisory?
The Alabama Department of Environmental Management (ADEM) collects and tests fish from Alabamas lakes, rivers, streams, estuaries, and offshore waters.
All fish are measured for length, weighed, and examined for overall condition.
Fish are filleted/processed to remove the entire edible portion of tissue. Samples are then transferred to the laboratory for analysis.
ADPH receives the fish tissue data from ADEM, and examines the data and issues fish consumption advisories where contaminated fish have been found.
Location where consumption advisories have been issued in the past are periodically resampled by ADEM to verify and monitor chemical concentrations.
Why do we have advisories?
ADPH issues advisories to help ensure the fish you catch are safe to eat.
Are fish consumption advisories only in Alabama?
No. Most states have issued fish consumption advisories. To look at other states advisories, go to http://www.epa.gov/waterscience/fish/states.htm General rule of thumb:
Older and larger fish have eaten more and have been in the water longer, so there may be more contaminants in their bodies Alabama Fish Consumption Advisories, ADPH, Released June 2016 5
Why are only certain species of fish listed in the advisory?
It is difficult to sample a wide variety of fish in a given location, as not all species that inhabit the specific waterbody will be found at the selected sampling location during the sampling time frame.
If a particular species is not listed in the advisory, it is prudent to assume similar species with similar feeding habits should be consumed with caution.
How often are fish advisories updated?
ADPH annually updates fish consumption advisories based on data collected the preceding fall by ADEM.
How do fish become contaminated?
Contaminants get into water from erosion, storm water runoff, industrial and municipal discharges, agricultural practices, nonpoint source pollution and other factors.
When it rains, chemicals from the land and in the air are washed into the water.
Contaminants are carried downstream by rivers and creeks into lakes, reservoirs, and estuaries.
Fish absorb PCBs, chlordane and other pesticides from water, suspended sediments, or their food.
Organic chemicals concentrate in the fat of fish tissue and in fatty fish such as carp and catfish.
Cleaning and cooking a fish to remove fat will lower the amount of PCBs, chlordane or other pesticides in a fish meal.
Larger, older fish and fish which eat other fish may accumulate more contaminants than smaller, younger fish.
Contaminants are often not measured in panfish such as crappie and bluegill because their food sources are lower on the food chain and bioaccumulate less. Once in the water, mercury is converted to methyl mercury by bacteria and other processes.
Fish absorb methyl mercury from their food and from water as it passes over their gills.
Mercury is bound to proteins in fish tissue, including muscle.
Why are the restrictions limited in area when actually fish travel widely?
Fish movement in streams has not been extensively studied for most species.
The distance fish travel is highly variable, and can be due to the species of fish (salmon are famous for their long migration), recolonization of intermittent or disturbed streams, or spawning behavior.
Most travel is seasonal in nature and may be related to the avoidance of colder water or food availability.
Water temperature can affect fish movement, as in cooler temperature water fish do not travel as extensively.
Most species of fish will stay in their home range if it is sufficiently large, and within the same species there are some fish that will stay in their home range and some travel extensively.
Some species travel distances less than 10100 meters from the home pool. The distances a fish will travel on a daily/weekly/monthly/annual basis will not necessarily be only in an upstream/downstream direction, but may be perpendicular to the stream bank.
The state cannot test entire river basins as this would be labor and cost prohibitive.
The state gives the testing location as a guide for the angler to make a judgment call as to whether to consume fish from the location.
Alabama Fish Consumption Advisories, ADPH, Released June 2016 6
ADPHs advisory is a recommendation to limit consumption of fish or to not eat fish from a given location.
What are the main contaminants in Alabama?
Mercury Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs)
Perfluoralkyl sulfonate (PFOS)
What do I need to know about mercury?
Mercury in the environment comes from natural sources and from pollution.
The largest sources of pollution have been from decades of burning fossil fuel and waste.
Mercury builds up in the tissue or muscle of the fish.
It can also build up in our tissues when we eat fish contaminated with mercury.
The risk is only in eating the fish, which means you can still enjoy water activities like catch and release fishing, swimming, boating, and other water recreational activities.
The mercury risk depends on how much and how often we eat certain types of fish.
Mercury in fish is an issue for the whole nation, not just Alabama.
Health information for adults:
Too much consumption of fish with high levels of mercury may lead to heart disease in adults.
Health effects of mercury in adults can usually be corrected if a person stops eating fish that contain high levels of mercury.
If you are concerned about the amount of mercury in your body, see your doctor.
What do I need to know about PCBs?
PCBs stand for polychlorinated biphenyls.
Manmade compounds; banned in 1976.
PCBs were used as fluids for electrical transformers and products like cutting oils and carbonless copy paper.
They remain a problem today because they do not break down easily in the environment.
PCBs build up over time in the fatty parts of the fish.
PCBs can also build up in our bodies.
By cleaning or cooking fish to reduce fat, you can reduce the amount of PCBs you eat.
See page 10 for tips on how to clean and cook fish to reduce PCBs.
What are the health effects of PCBs in pregnant women?
Lower birth weight Smaller infant head size Premature births Developmental problems and learning disabilities What do I need to know about PFOS?
PFOS is an organic molecule that contains fluorine. Prior to being phased out in 2002, PFOS was produced in large quantities.
PFOS was either used by itself, or as a starting material for larger molecules.
Alabama Fish Consumption Advisories, ADPH, Released June 2016 7
PFOS has also been named 1octanesulfonic acid, heptadecafluoro, 1perfluorooctanesulfonic acid, heptadecafluoro1octanesulfonic acid, perfluoronoctanesulfonic acid, perfluoroctanesulfonic acid, and perfluoroctylsulfonic acid.
PFOS is chemically and biologically stable. The molecule is very resistant to degradation; therefore it is extremely persistent in the environment.
PFOS has been shown to accumulate in fish tissues.
Health information for adults:
PFOS can be found in small quantities in both human and wildlife blood samples nationwide.
Limited studies have indicated that fish consumption may be a route of human exposure to PFOS.
PFOS is readily absorbed after ingestion and accumulates primarily in the serum, kidney, and liver.
Due to its chemical nature, metabolism in the body is very slow. Therefore, it can stay in the body for a long time.
Animal studies have raised some concerns about potential health effects of PFOS.
Human toxicity is not well understood. Some epidemiological studies have shown an association between PFOS exposure and adverse health effects; however more research is needed.
PFOS is not considered to be a carcinogen in humans.
How can I reduce the health risks from contaminated fish?
You can reduce the health risks from any type of fish by following these tips:
Do not eat more fish than the advisory recommends.
Eat fish from lakes and rivers that do not have advisories.
Eat smaller fish, OR eat smaller portions of large fish Eat different types of fish instead of just one type.
Clean and cook your fish the right way (only helps to reduce PCBs)
Enjoy fishing by catching and releasing the fish instead of eating them.
What do I need to know about shellfish in Alabama to stay safe?
ADPH regularly test the waterbodies containing shellfish beds for bacteria.
ADPH will close the shellfish bed, if health standards are not met, or if conditions have changed to make the shellfish unsafe.
A closed shellfish bed means that it is unsafe to eat the shellfish in that area.
Testing ensures that the shellfish you collect and eat in Alabama are safe.
For more information on ADPHs Shellfish Program, go to http://adph.org/foodsafety/Default.asp?id=1141 For shellfish closure updates, call (251) 4327618.
What about fish I buy instead of catch?
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) have issued a national mercury advisory for fish that you buy.
The advisory includes fresh, frozen, and canned fish that you buy at a store or restaurant.
EPA and FDA advice for women in the atrisk group:
o Do not eat Shark, Swordfish, King Mackerel, or Tilefish.
Alabama Fish Consumption Advisories, ADPH, Released June 2016 8
o Eat up to 12 ounces (2 average meals) a week of a variety of fish and shellfish that are lower in mercury.
o Check local advisories in your state for fish caught by your family and friends.
Follow the same advice when feeding fish and shellfish to young children, only serve them a smaller portion.
Need more information about store bought fish?
o FDAs Website at http://www.fda.gov/Food/ResourcesForYou/Consumers/ucm077331.htm o EPAs Website at http://www.epa.gov/mercury/advisories.htm o Health and Human Services (HHS) Website at http://www.foodsafety.gov/keep/types/seafood/index.html Does ADPH post signs on waterbodies with advisories?
Typically no. A fish advisory can vary from year to year and it would be impractical to continually replace signage. Vandalism (either sign defacement or theft) also makes posting signs problematic. There are limited locations in the state where emplacement of signs on public boat landings has occurred. These locations were posted because of agreements with federal agencies and companies performing cleanup of contaminated waterbodies.

Alabama Fish Consumption Advisories, ADPH, Released June 2016 9
Cleaning and cooking fish to reduce PCBs You can reduce your exposure to PCBs by the way you prepare the fish.
PCBs are found in the fatty parts of fish. By cleaning or cooking fish to reduce fat, you can also reduce the amount of contaminants you eat.
Remove head and all guts.
Remove the skin and trim all fat from the areas shown in the picture.
Dont panfry or deep fry. Broil, bake, poach, or boil your fish so the fatty juices drip away.
Dont eat or use any of the cooking liquids.
Alabama Fish Consumption Advisories, ADPH, Released June 2016 10
Understanding the Advisories How to find an advisory Search by region The map of Alabama is divided into six areas (page 12).
The waterbodies are listed in alphabetical order within each section.
Find your waterbody of interest and follow the consumption advice related to that species of fish.
Search by waterbody If you have a specific waterbody you are looking for, go to page 31 for a complete index of waterbodies.
Eating fish from waterbodies under advisory**
- See page 4additional advice for atrisk women and children Portion sizes Advisories are based on 1 meal of fish One meal of fish = 1/2 pound or 8 ounces (raw) of fish 8 ounces of raw fish = about the size of 2 decks of playing cards Spacing your consumption When eating fish from waterbodies under advisory, you should space out your meals based on the advice given 1 meal a week = you may eat 8 ounces of fish once in that week 1 meal a month = you may eat 8 ounces of fish once in that month No restrictions = this means that you can eat that type of fish in that waterbody as often as you would like Example Largemouth bass in the Bay Minette Creek have an advisory for 1 meal a month.
Once you have eaten a meal of largemouth bass from Bay Minette Creek, you should not eat any more fish under a mercury advisory for the rest of the month.
This includes other fish from Bay Minette Creek and anywhere else with an advisory.
