Minnesota: Researchers Warn On Mercury In St. Louis River Estuary Fish

If a kid catches a big walleye on the St. Louis River estuary in Duluth, the state warns her not to eat it. Ever.

"If a little kid catches a big walleye on Lake Winnibigoshish, the state of Minnesota says she can safely eat that fish once a week.

If she catches the fish out of the upper St. Louis River, say around Brookston, the state suggests just one meal per month.

But if the same kid catches a big walleye on the St. Louis River estuary in Duluth, the state warns her not to eat it. Ever."
