GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) — There’s a new fish consumption advisory for the Bay of Green Bay and its tributaries.
Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources officials say elevated levels of PFOS, a type of PFAS, were detected in rock bass sampled from the Peshtigo River.
As a result, the DNR and DHS recommend consuming only one meal per week for rock bass from the Bay of Green Bay and its associated tributaries up to the first dam.
This includes portions of the Peshtigo, Oconto and Menominee rivers. Low levels of PFOS were found in other species, but not enough to warrant additional advisories.
