Water Safety

Indiana scientists use electroshocking to collect samples from the White River Watershed for the Fish Consumption Guidelines. Electroshocking requires special permits, equipment, and training. All Indiana fishing regulations can be found here: https://www.eregulations.com/indiana/fishing  

Fish are an important part of a healthy, well-balanced diet. In Indiana, fish are generally safe to eat. Follow the guidelines to maximize the benefits of eating fish, while minimizing the risk. The statewide Fish Consumption Guidelines are found here: www.IN.gov/isdh/FCA
