West Virginia Department of Health releases 2025 sport fishing advisory


The West Virginia Department of Health has recently updated the 2025 West Virginia Sport Fish Consumption Advisory in collaboration with the Department of Environmental Protection and the Division of Natural Resources. This advisory, which is based on a review of recent data, helps anglers and their families make informed decisions about consuming fish caught in West Virginia waters.

The advisory, which can be found on the Department of Health’s website, includes information about low levels of chemicals such as PCBs, mercury, selenium and dioxin found in some fish from certain waters. It also provides guidance on where to fish, what types of fish to eat, how to limit fish consumption, and how to properly prepare and cook fish to reduce contaminants. Women of childbearing age, children, and frequent fish consumers are advised to be especially cautious due to the long-term effects of these contaminants.

It is important to note that the advisory only covers sport fish caught in West Virginia waters, and regulations for fish in the marketplace are under the jurisdiction of the FDA. Anglers can find the 2025 DNR fishing regulations and consumption advisories on the Division of Natural Resources website.

Overall, the advisory serves as a tool to help anglers make safe and informed choices when consuming fish. For more information and resources, individuals can visit the FDA website.
