Biological Monitoring – Fish Data

Fish represent the top of the aquatic food chain and are important indicators of ecosystem health. Extensive knowledge of the habitat, life history, longevity, and mobility of native species provide insight into long-term and widespread effects of the physical and chemical alteration of water. Fish collection and habitat data are available on DEQ’s website.

Information on the bioaccumulation of mercury in fish tissue is included under the Mercury in Fish heading in the Lakes Monitoring Program. Data from September 1990 to present is available on this website. Data previous to September 1990 can be found on EPA's website.
