Still waiting if anyone has any information on Puget Sound Atlantics being tested for Mercury and PCB's?


Since you didn't provide a link I did some looking and came up with this:http://www.doh.wa.gov/CommunityandEnvironment/Food/Fish/HealthyFishGuide.

Note that the recommendations are the same for non-farmed salmon as for farmed except P.S. Chinook have a lower recommended number of servings/wk. Elsewhere, there are some more detailed recommendations available by marine area for fish caught in Puget Sound.
