The number of fish collected per sample, the measured mercury concentrations in fish tissue, and the number of exceedances are, by species: Bluegill- 5 samples, 0.08-0.41 ppm (average 0.21 ppm), 1 exceedance; Carp- 5 samples, 0.21-0.69 ppm (average 0.40 ppm), 3 exceedances; Channel Catfish- 12 samples, 0.13-0.71 ppm (average 0.35 ppm), 7 exceedances; Crappie- 2 samples, 0.27 and 0.41 ppm, 1 exceedance; Hardhead- 6 samples, 0.37-0.53 ppm (average 0.43 ppm), 6 exceedances; Largemouth Bass- 12 samples, 0.26-0.87 ppm (average 0.43 ppm), 9 exceedances. All 42 fish tissue samples were collected from fish with total lengths greater than 150 mm, which represent fish most commonly caught and consumed by sport fishers and their families. |

Water Quality Objective/Criterion: | All waters shall be maintained free of toxic substances in concentrations that produce detrimental physiological responses in human, plant, animal, or aquatic life. The objective applies regardless of whether the toxicity is caused by a single substance or the interactive effect of multiple substances. |

Evaluation Guideline: | The USEPA Fish Tissue Residue Criterion for methylmercury in fish is 0.3 mg/kg (0.3 ppm) for the protection of human health. This is the concentration in fish tissue that should not be exceeded based on a total fish and shellfish consumption-weighted rate of 0.0175 kg fish/day. (USEPA, 2001) |

Spatial Representation: | Samples were collected at one location from the eastern side of Camanche Reservoir. |
Temporal Representation: | Fish samples were collected during two sampling events - from 9/13/2005 to 9/14/2005, and on 4/12/2006. |
Environmental Conditions: | Significant gold mining activity occurred during the Gold Rush era within the Camanche Reservoir watershed and the lands inundated by Camanche Reservoir. |
QAPP Information: | Data quality: Excellent. Quality Control for all of the elements described in section 6.1.4 of the Policy was conducted in accordance with the Laboratory QAPP developed by Moss Landing Marine Laboratories (MLML, 2005). This data was also collected and analyzed in accordance with the CALFED Mercury Project QAPP (Puckett and van Buuren, 2000). |
