better to ask the fish and game department!

they perform the tests....and readers digest is an alarmist magazine that tries to scare senoir citizens mainly. A baby snow seal pup 10 minutes old out on the ice was grabbed and tested once in what looked like the purest spot on the planet and it was found to have traces of DDT in its blood. Sure DTT had been banned in the USA but not in 3rd world countries where their laws allowed it to still be sold so nothing is immune from pollution really. Whether or not stripers have high levels of say mercury in them could be anyone's guess and unfortunately theres no easy test yet to test the fish we catch.Most of the mercury is found i believe in freshwater fish man raised trout being the cleanest fish.
