photo of fishThis is a Windows update of the original FISH program. It contains video clips illustrating concepts such as bioaccumulation, and risk reduction techniques (including cooking and filleting tips). Users can search a list of chemical contaminants and learn about their effects, or see photos and video of target species. Included are an updated list of contaminants from 1997 guidance, as well as references to an online database of fish advisories and state contacts. The program explains issuance of advisories. The program also presents fish collection and survey methods used in determining whether a fish advisory is needed.fish.html
