Although Manitoba has some of the cleanest waters in the world, all fish contain some mercury from natural sources. Human activities can cause further increases in these natural mercury levels. Fish from some areas may have elevated mercury levels.
For further information about mercury in fish and for recommended consumption rates, please visit manitoba.ca/waterstewardship/fish/mercury, or phone Manitoba Water Stewardship at 945-7100 or the Resource Information Service at 945-6784.
