Catch and Reveal: Discovering Unknown Fish Contamination Threats
Harmful ?forever chemicals? were recently discovered in rainbow smelt- what else are we missing? We seek to protect anglers and their families by uncovering unknown contamination threats to Minnesota fish.
$246,000 the second year is from the trust fund to the Board of Regents of the University of Minnesota for the Natural Resources Research Institute in Duluth to identify contaminants present in Minnesota water bodies using passive sampling and discovery-based chemical analysis and rank the contaminants' potential threat to Minnesota's fisheries. This appropriation is available until June 30, 2026, by which time the project must be completed and final products delivered.
