Biologists with the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services Jody Connor Limnology Center (JCLC) are seeking assistance in updating information on mercury levels in New Hampshire’s freshwater fish. Periodically, New Hampshire updates statewide fish consumption advisories for mercury, and also determines if pollution control efforts to reduce mercury are working. To help keep consumption advisories current, the JCLC is looking to receive Largemouth bass, Smallmouth bass, Eastern chain pickerel, Yellow perch, White perch, and Black crappie, or any fish considered suitable for eating, from any lake in New Hampshire.
