Abstract
⺠Metal contamination of lake whitefish from Montreal and Reindeer lakes is low. ⺠Concentrations of organochlorine pesticides and PCBs in whitefish muscle are negligible. ⺠No human-pathogenic fish parasites were identified. ⺠Attention should be paid to mercury levels and large parasite cysts attached to the intestine. ⺠Overall, whitefish is a healthy food source and health risks related to fish consumption are minor.
