    MI/EGLE/WRD-20/023 MICHIGAN DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENT, GREAT LAKES, AND ENERGY FISH CONTAMINANT MONITORING PROGRAM 2019 ANNUAL REPORT A SUMMARY OF EDIBLE PORTION SAMPLING EFFORT AND ANALYTICAL RESULTS WITH RECOMMENDATIONS FOR UPDATES TO THE MICHIGAN DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES’ EAT SAFE FISH GUIDE OCTOBER 2020 SECTION 1.0 INTRODUCTION The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy-Water Resources Division (EGLE-WRD) has measured contaminants in over 20,000 fillet or other edible portion fish tissue samples collected since 1980. Fish contaminant analyses are limited to chemicals with high bioaccumulation potential in fish tissue. The presence of even extremely low concentrations of some bioaccumulative pollutants in surface water can result in fish tissue concentrations that pose a human or wildlife health risk. The EGLE-WRD conducts fish contaminant monitoring to address four goals: 1. The first goal is to support the development of the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) Eat Safe Fish Guide. Edible portion sample results are used by the MDHHS to issue general and specific consumption advisories for sport-caught fish from Michigan’s surface waters. 2. The second goal is to support the regulation of commercial fisheries in the waters of the state. The Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development (MDARD) uses edible portion monitoring results to regulate sales of the commercial catch. 3. The third goal of the fish contaminant monitoring is to identify spatial differences and temporal trends in the quality of Michigan’s surface waters. Temporal trends and spatial differences are examined by collecting whole fish, passive sampler, and caged fish samples in addition to the edible portion samples.
