National Listing of Fish Advisories Released for 2004

"States, tribes and territories issued 3,221 fish advisories in 2004, according to data just released by the Environmental Protection Agency. The advisories alert residents to the potential health risks of eating contaminated fish caught locally in lakes, rivers and coastal waters. They do not pertain to commercial fishing."

2004 National Listing of Fish Advisories database also shows that because the increasing of moniting activies in states, the number of safe-eating guidelines issued by states continues to rise rapidly.

there are different kinds of advisories which all concentrated on limiting or avoidding eating certain fish species caught from specific bodies of water. Advisories may be issued for the general population or for such groups as pregnant women, nursing mothers, and children later.

Will the advisories effect the fish market and the trend of supply and demand of the fish market? What do you think ?
