But today, it also means being cautious a- bout the amount and type of sport fish you eat. It's a fact of modern life that fish in many parts of the world have:been affected by nat- ural and industrial contaminants. As an indus- trialized province, Ontario has not escaped this problem. But the province is also a lead- er in identifying sources of contamination and restricting them. ~ Principal villain has been the metal mercury although man-made materials such as DDT, Mirex and PCB have also been found in fish.. None of these contaminants has ever been found in quantities that would make any of Ontario's lakes unsafe for drinking or swim- ming. : ; It's a fact, too, that fish can become con- taminated by mercury from natural sources - from concentrations of mercury naturally oc- curring as mineral deposits in the bedrock. But the picture is by no means gloomy for Ontario sports fishermen. Some lakes have fish that are clear of contamination. Where the problem does exist, many species of fish should be avoided altogether. A booklet the purpose of which is to present the facts about fish contamination has' been published from material assembled by the minis- tries of the Environment, Health, Labour and Natural Resources entitled "Guide to Eating Ontario Sportfish".
