The Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services released the 2008 Fish Consumption Advisory. The report once again advises "sensitive populations" -- women who are pregnant, of childbearing age, nursing mothers and children younger than 13 -- to beware of mercury and to limit fish consumption. The full advisory can be viewed at www.dhss.mo.gov/fishadvisory/.
