Fish mercury database summary, 2001 : British Columbia

Summary: The overall objective of this report was to provide under a single cover, a compilation of the vast majority of mercury data for freshwater fish collected from British Columbia reservoirs and lakes since 1970. This was initiated by BC Hydro following an investigation of fish mercury in the Upper Columbia Generation Area in 1998, that identified the need to compile and standardize the available fish mercury data when it was recognized that there was no recent presentation of fish mercury data.
