Abstract
A survey was carried out in the Los Angeles metropolitan coastal area during 1980 to assess fishing activity and consumption rates of fish by sport fishermen at local sites which were pollution impacted. Among the 1,059 anglers interviewed, 49% of them fish at least one time each week and, depending on species caught, between 67% and 97% of the anglers consume some or all of their fish. The most common species caught (one out of three) was the white croaker (Genyonemus lineatus). Because substantially large quantities of the fish eaten were caught in areas influenced by waste discharges, concern was expressed over possible health hazards to those fish consumers.
