can a person eat a fish out of lk. Erie or are they glowing with toxins
This is a "questionable" question by someone here with over a 1000 posts.
Someone with the number of posts you have on a site like this I would typically assume to have been involved with fishing and the outdoors for quite some time.
I would also assume you have already probably seen plenty of discussions regarding Lake Erie and the incredible fishery it offers these days.
Therefore, I will assume you are simply trolling for something silly with the 2 questions that you posted.
Still, I will try to answer your questions.
Yes.
And no.
If you are really serious with your question please do a little online research on the past and present pollution levels of the Great Lakes, specifically Lake Erie.
Erie, being the shallowest, was the worst polluted back in the 60's, but it was also the quickest to turn around back in the 70's and 80's after measures were taken to curb the pollution being dumped into it.
Google "phosphates" and their effects on streams and lakes.
And the banning of them back in the 70's.
Look for the industrial waste contributors on the Great Lakes and the DEC's efforts to go after the companies responsible, etc.
Good luck.
