The Alabama Department of Public Health has released its annual fish consumption advisories for 2019, a list of locations where the state recommends that people limit the amount of fish they eat because of contamination from substances such as mercury, PCBs and PFOS.

In Lake Frank Jackson’s dam forebay area, the ADPH suggest not eating any largemouth bass out of the lake due to high levels of mercury.

Gantt Lake is also on the list. Largemouth bass can be eaten, but limit to two meals per month due to elevated levels of mercury. This is for the entire lake.

There are no restrictions on channel catfish in Gantt Lake.

Lake Jackson in Florala is also on the list and it’s warned not to eat any largemouth bass caught in the lake due to high levels of mercury.

On the Patsaliga Creek, one may eat largemouth bass caught in the creek, but should limit to just two meals per month due to elevated levels of mercury.

Point A is also on the list for the lower reservoir and the dam forebay. Limit channel catfish to two meals per month due to elevated levels of mercury.

One shouldn’t eat any largemouth bass caught in the Point A due to high levels of mercury.
