These chemicals remain in the air, water, and soil for long periods. They may originate in the South, and be carried to the North by wind or rain. These chemicals are taken up by plants and tiny crea- tures in the water (plankton). From there, they are passed up the food chain to insects, then fi sh, then birds and animals that eat the fi sh. Small amounts of PCBs and DDT have been found in fi sh in the James Bay region. But the levels are low, and within Health Cana- da’s guidelines for what is acceptable. There is no reason to avoid fi sh because of concerns about PCBs or DDT. Mercury is another contaminant that is present in the environ- ment. But unlike other contaminants, the levels in fi sh increase temporarily in hydro electric reservoirs. Mercury can come from industries in the South, but it also occurs naturally. Because it is carried by wind and rain, fi sh all over the world contain at least some mercury. 5 Contaminants in fish of the James Bay region The amount of mercury in a fi sh depends on: Age and size: Mercury builds up throughout a fi sh’s life, so large, older fi sh contain more mercury than young and small ones. Location: All types of James Bay costal fi sh are low in mercury and safe to eat. Inland, fi sh from reservoirs or areas directly downstream from hydroelectric plants may have more mercury than those in natural lakes. However, this depends on the species of fi sh. It also depends on the age of the reservoir, because mer- cury levels in reservoirs go back to normal over the years. Species: Predatory fi sh (fi sh that eat other fi sh), like walleye, pike, lake trout, or burbot, contain more mercury than fi sh that eat insects, like lake whitefi sh, speckled trout (brook trout), lake stur- geon, cisco or suckers.

For example, the consumption recommendation for predatory fi sh from the Robert-Bourassa reservoir is 2 meals per month, but in fact, to reach the mercury level at which health symptoms may appear, most people would have to eat them at least once a day, for a whole year. Even if you eat fi sh every day for a few weeks in summer, like during a fi shing trip, it is not a concern, as it takes several months to build-up mea- ningful amounts of mercury. 7 Fish on the Menu Eating fi sh while breastfeeding Breastfeeding has always been an important part of our culture. Breast milk transfers very little mercury to children. If you eat fi sh, you have more Omega-3 fats in your breast milk, and this is good for your baby. So we recommend that you continue to eat low-mercury fi sh at least twice a week while breastfeeding.

Wh i teleather* FILLETING INDUSTRY IN GENERAL The fisheries that support the groundfish fillet industry in Norway are lo­ cated in the northern part of the country principally from the Lofot Islands area northward to Hammerfest in Finnmark. These fisheries, particularly those for cod, are generally ranked among the most prolific in the world. In a normal year the Lofot fisheries alone from January through March yield from 80,000 to 120,000 met­ ric tons of large cod. Notwi t hst anding this, the 1953 spring fishery for cod was disastrous owing to violent storms and almost continuous bad weather for the two- onth period which comprised most of the season. No trawlers operate in t he Lofot cod fishery. The purse seiners, gill netters, ong liner., and hand liners used are dependent to a great extent on reasonably air weather conditions.

  • Total Mercury and Copper Concentrations in Lake Trout and Whitefish Fillets from Lake Superior
    Total Mercury and Copper Concentrations in Lake Trout and Whitefish Fillets From Lake Superior Activity: 19 -23 By Kory Groetsch Environmental Section Biological Services Division INTRODUCTION Mercury and copper are the two most toxic heavy metals to fish. Furthermore, methyl mercury can accumulate in fish muscle tissue to levels that, consumed on a regular basis, may pose a risk to human health. Both of these metals are released during copper mining and ore processing. Copper mining and processing were a major industry in the Keweenaw Peninsula of Michigan during the mid-1800's. Mining processes which involved heating the ore, released mercury as a bi-product into the air. Furthermore, the unused portion of the ore after the desired minerals were removed (i.e. tailings) were dumped off the shoals of the Keweenaw Peninsula into Lake Superior. These tailing have formed large sholes referred to as stamp sands. Because the extraction of copper from the ore is not a 100% efficient process, it is reasonable to assume that copper, as well as mercury, were in the tailings released into the waters around the Keweenaw Peninsula. The waters around the Keweenaw Peninsula are the location of several lake trout and whitefish spawning reefs. The lake trout and whitefish populations around the Keweenaw Peninsula are sustained by the fish reproduction that occurs on these reefs. These lake trout and whitefish populations have significant cultural and economic importance to the Anishinabe. The purpose of this study was to determine the total mercury and total copper concentrations in the muscle tissue (i.e. fillet) of lake trout and whitefish, in size ranges commonly caught by tribal fishermen around the Keweenaw Penisula.

  • Fillet Steak with Slow-Cooked Tomatoes, Salsa Verde Watercress
    Fillet steak with slow-cooked tomatoes, salsa Verde watercress The fillet is probably the nicest and most expensive cut of beef. It’s very lean and tender due to the short fibres in the meat. Salsa verde not only contains lots of vitamins, it also bursts with freshness from the herbs and savoury anchovies. With the slow-cooked tomatoes and watercress salad, this is a recipe that will have you looking forward to steak night. Remember to stick to no more than 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar per sitting. Ingredients-serves 4 . 4 x 100g fillet steaks For the slow-cooked tomatoes: . 520g/4 vine-ripened tomatoes or 16 . cherry tomatoes . 2 sprigs of fresh thyme . splash of balsamic vinegar . splash of olive oil . pinch of caster sugar . salt and freshly ground black pepper For the salsa verde: . 2 tsp white wine vinegar . 4–5 fresh basil sprigs, leaves only . handful of fresh flat-leaf parsley . 6g/2 tinned anchovy fillets, drained and finely chopped . 3 tsp capers . 100ml garlic-infused olive oil For the watercress salad: . 100g watercress . 4 tbsp olive oil . 1 tsp white wine vinegar . 1 tsp Dijon mustard . pinch of salt Method Preheat the oven to 120°C. To prepare the slow-cooked tomatoes, combine the thyme, vinegar, oil, sugar and seasoning and dip the tomatoes (still on the vine) into the mix, coating them completely. Place on a baking tray and gently roast them in the oven for 15–20 minutes. Heat a large frying pan over a high heat until it’s smoking hot, then brush with olive oil.

  • Naiscoot River Fish Habitat Assessment
    Naiscoot River Fish Habitat Assessment Executive Summary The Eastern Georgian Bay Stewardship Council (EGBSC) received funding from Environment and Climate Change Canada to carry out a 32-month project to assess spawning, nursery, rearing, and foraging habitat in eight tributaries to eastern Georgian Bay, which included the Naiscoot River. Fish habitat assessments were focused on Walleye, Lake Sturgeon, and Sucker species, between the river mouths and the first major spawning area or barrier to fish passage. During the 2017 spawning season, EGBSC visited the Naiscoot River spawning bed seventeen (17) times and the Harris Branch spawning bed nineteen (19) times between April 15 and June 20. Basic water chemistry measurements (water temperature, dissolved oxygen, pH, conductivity) were recorded on all site visits and were generally within the expected range for Canadian Shield waters. Two stations were set up at the Naiscoot Dam spawning bed and four stations at the Harris Branch spawning bed to measure water velocity and water level fluctuations. All water velocity measurements were under 2.0 m/s at both spawning beds and would not likely limit fish movement throughout either spawning bed. At the Naiscoot Dam spawning bed, it is likely that fish are able to swim past the rapids, right up to the base of the dam. It is possible that velocities in the uppermost areas of the rapids at the Harris Branch spawning bed exceed 2.0 m/s, however, these are areas with predominantly bedrock and large boulder substrate, not ideal spawning habitat for Walleye, Lake Sturgeon, or Sucker. It is unknown whether fish are able to move beyond the rapids, further upstream.

  • Evaluation of Food Waste Prevention Measures— the Use of Fish Products in the Food Service Sector
    sustainability Article Evaluation of Food Waste Prevention Measures— The Use of Fish Products in the Food Service Sector Yanne Goossens * , Thomas G. Schmidt and Manuela Kuntscher Thünen Institute of Rural Studies, Bundesallee 64, 38116 Braunschweig, Germany; [email protected] (T.G.S.); [email protected] (M.K.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 15 July 2020; Accepted: 11 August 2020; Published: 15 August 2020 Abstract: This study presents two food waste prevention measures focusing on the interface between the food service sector and its food suppliers. Through a case study on procuring salmon by a hotel kitchen, the use of food products with different convenience grades is examined. The convenience grade of the fish bought (whole salmon, fillets or portions) determines where along the food chain filleting and/or portioning takes place and thus where food waste from cut-offs occurs. To reduce food waste, we propose purchasing filleted or portioned salmon rather than whole salmon. For both measures, effectiveness is calculated by looking at food waste reductions along the food chain, achieved by a better use of filleting and portioning cut-offs. Next, sustainability across the environmental, economic and social dimension is evaluated by calculating (a) avoided embodied environmental impacts and economic costs, (b) avoided food waste disposal environmental impacts and economic costs and (c) environmental, economic and social impacts and costs associated with implementing the measures. Purchasing fillets or portions instead of whole salmon leads to food waste reductions of 89% and 94%, respectively. The interventions further lead to net climate change impact savings − − along the salmon chain of 16% (fillets) and 18% (portions).

  • Silverfin (Asian Carp) Recipes
    Chef Philippe Parola and Silverfin Promotion, LLC The Asian Carp Invasion Solution A Letter from Chef Philippe After almost two years of research and development focused on the Asian carp invasion solution, we proudly have identified and engineered the necessary food technology to process Asian carp into boneless, pre-cooked, microwaveable, healthy, U.S. wild-caught, affordable, value-added Silverfin fillets. Our packaging concepts are consumer friendly and easy to identify as a premiere U.S. fish product under the Silverfin Craze brand name. To be able to successfully remove Asian carp, we must create a strong incentive to put present and future fishermen to work. This incentive will be easily achieved by marketing our value-added fish products in national and international food market places. Furthermore, our formula will sustain itself and generate multiple tax revenues to Local, State and Federal governments. Our clear and simple solution includes processing up to 80,000 pounds of raw fish per day. This will boost fresh water fisheries and local economies by creating permanent and part time jobs. It will also help control the Asian carp population, and prevent a total take-over by these invasive species which would displace our native fish. Our processing concept will be able to handle other invasive fish species such as Black carp and Snakehead . Removing so many of these large jumping fish from American waters on a daily basis will also reduce the danger of someone being seriously injured, or even killed, by these fish when they leap from the water.
