Recreational Fish Advisory Updates
As a public service, the state Department of Environmental Protection and the Department of Health and Senior Services reminds anglers to be aware of routine fish advisories that are in place for fish caught recreationally in New Jersey.
 
These advisories allow members of the public to make informed choices about the fish they catch and eat. While water quality in New Jersey continues to improve, past pollution can persist for many years in sediments and continue to accumulate in fish at or near the top of the aquatic food chain. As a result, some recreationally caught fish can contain mercury, PCBs and pesticides that may be unhealthy for children or some adults with certain health concerns.
 
The DEP recently updated its advisories to incorporate results of new sampling for lakes, ponds and reservoirs that flow into the Delaware River. This sampling round, the last in a five-region statewide cycle, resulted in fish advisories being posted at 14 new water bodies. Read more
