TOPEKA – The Kansas Department of Health and Environment, in conjunction with the Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism, has issued revised fish consumption advisories for 2012. The advisories identify types of fish or other aquatic animals that should be eaten in limited quantities or, in some cases, avoided altogether because of contamination.

So, they recommend that you don’t eat bottom-feeding fish taken from Cow Creek in Hutchinson and downstream to the confluence with the Arkansas River in Reno County because of PCB levels.

Other Kansas counties with current fish consumption advisories include Cherokee, Douglas, Johnson, Leavenworth, Sedgwick, and Sumner.
