Joking aside, pregnant or potentially pregnant women really shouldn't be eating any UL fish [/quote]
While this may be true for channel catfish or carp, do you have any facts to back up that it is true for other species at Utah lake? To repeat, there is NO advisory for any toxin for the white bass or panfish at Utah lake. Also to repeat, UL fish had some of the lowest mercury levels of any fish tested in the state.
My wife doesn't like fish but if she did when we were in the gene pool, I would have much preferred she eat UL white bass or crappie than fish from almost anywhere else I routinely angle and that includes supermarket fish as well. That opinion is based on a review of actual data, not some knee jerk, feel good, reaction we see so often regarding this subject.
