I' m in NW Ohio and fish mostly the Maumee and Lake Erie. Due to the toxicity of the water same fish species have a consumption advisory of about four ounces per month. So I began to wonderin if the fish were put in fresh water, how long would it take to get all the toxins worked out? If it' s even possible. Could you throw it in a tub and in a month or whatever the toxins have worked out?

Toxins ussally collect the most in fat& fatty tissues the most& organs like livers etc.

Bottom type fish& feeders collect lotsa those heavy metals( mercury, lead many others etc ..& the bigger fish even predeters collect it becuase if the food chain.


The leaner the meat / flesh the better ... sometimes i think things are overplayed about toxins etc..but then again it varies & somethings are harmfull - some not always right away tho.

Im not normal lol & i grew up around lake erie , love canal, nigara river & dioxin [&:]& eating lotsa fish etc.

They used lotsa lead in gas etc in those days too , by there parts per nillion etc... i should have been dead long ago& brain dead long before my death[>:]

I think its cleaner then it use to be 20-30 yrs ago/... far as i can tell.

But clean compared to what? What it use to be?

Cball, You thought Lake Erie was clean? You' re joking right? It seems almost every year they tell people not to swim in Maumee Bay State Park ' cause the water toxins and such are too high. I remember a time when I was younger that I went swimmin out there for a few hours and it turned my hair green. Imagine what it does to the fish. eh I' d like to keep some of the fish I catch, if I could just get it out of my head how toxic they' re supposed to be.
