{"product_id":"fish-tissue-metals-test","title":"Fish Tissue Metals Test","description":"\u003cp\u003eMercury is the most common reason states advise limits on eating freshwater fish. It enters lakes from the air and from the watershed, is converted by bacteria into a form that accumulates in living tissue, and concentrates up the food chain, so the largest, oldest predators carry the most. A lake can have excellent water quality and still produce fish with meaningful mercury levels, because the two are measured in different places.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis test measures mercury, arsenic, cadmium, and lead in the flesh of a fish caught from your lake. You catch and fillet the fish, record its species, size, and where it came from, and ship the sample to an accredited laboratory.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat this test does and does not decide.\u003c\/strong\u003e Lake Pulse sells tests that measure what is in the fish. We do not decide whether you can eat it. Fish consumption advice is issued by state health and natural resource agencies, which set advice by species, by size, and by who is eating, and their advisory for your lake stands regardless of what a single fillet shows. Check your state advisory first, and treat these results as additional information alongside it, never as a replacement for it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOne of three fish tissue tests.\u003c\/strong\u003e Each measures a different group of contaminants in the flesh of fish caught from your lake.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFish Tissue Metals Test\u003c\/strong\u003e — mercury, arsenic, cadmium, and lead\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/lakepulse.co\/products\/fish-tissue-pfas-test\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFish Tissue PFAS Test\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e — PFAS, including PFOS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/lakepulse.co\/products\/fish-tissue-pesticide-screen\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFish Tissue Pesticide Screen\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e — a broad screen of pesticide residues\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Lake Pulse Toolbox","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46080909344947,"sku":"F-TIS-001","price":300.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0703\/4070\/6483\/files\/LakePulse_400.jpg?v=1790229508","url":"https:\/\/toolbox.lakepulse.co\/products\/fish-tissue-metals-test","provider":"Lake Pulse","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
