They, the fish, don't accumulate the toxins from the water. They accumulate them from what they eat. And, the caged fish eat significantly different diets than the wilds or hatchery plants.


I acknowledged they are fed different food in my original post.
This magic food made up mostly of meat by-products, must have toxics in it or there would be no health advisory from Department of health. Or there absorbing toxics from the environment.
