This is what it said on the Channel 7 web site. Ron
"WHAT TO KNOW BEFORE FISHING IN THE LOWER BOISE RIVER
The high level of mercury in catfish was actually discovered when testing catfish caught by the US Geological Survey in June to determine water quality.
Based on their testing results, this is what the department of health is advising.
Expecting and nursing mothers should only eat three meals of locally caught catfish per month
Children 15-years-old and under should also only eat three meals of catfish per month
Everyone else not in these categories can eat up to 11 meals per month"
