2009 Lower Yarra River Fish Study results |
| The 2009 Lower Yarra River Fish Study results confirm that fish from the lower Yarra River are still safe to eat. The study found that the contaminant concentrations in fish sampled from the lower Yarra River in January and February 2009 were generally lower than the concentrations recorded in 2006. The results were scrutinised by a panel of independent experts who were satisfied that the results were scientifically valid. |
| The results mean that the current health advisory for people who catch fish from the lower Yarra and Maribyrnong Rivers does not change. In accordance with the advisory, recreational anglers are still advised to limit themselves to four serves of fish a month and one serve of eel a month, and children and women of child bearing age should limit themselves to one serve of fish per month and should not eat eels caught from the lower Yarra and Maribyrnong Rivers. |
