- This study raises concern regarding the safety of the commercial
freshwater fish market in the USA. Consumers of market fish do not
understand the risks associated with ingestion of fish from particular
fisheries and the FDA needs to test more fish samples more frequently to
assure food safety.
- Increasing quantities of farm-raised and wild-caught freshwater fish
enter the USA fish market from our international trading partners. More
strenuous assessment of fish contaminants are required to keep the
health risks from ingestion of contaminated fish at acceptable levels.
