Due to the chemicals, the New York Department
of Health recommends limiting
consumption to a meal a month for most
fish, and recommends not eating carp, channel catfish and large lake or brown trout
caught in the St. Lawrence River.

I agree that from a health standpoint naturally raised and
caught meat and
fish is preferable — has some health benefits without as many drawbacks — but the bottom line is that a HIGH
consumption of these foods — say anything above 25 %
of calories — is not optimal for health and bad for the planet.
Fish catch is a key ecological indicator for a number
of reasons: it allows us to have a proxy to track local ocean health (albeit inaccurately), it allows us to track species, protein
consumption by humans, etc..
