Shrimp consumption using a mean of 45.2 grams/day based on Wilson et al. (2015)

b

2X FDA Comsumption: Finfish consumption using twice the USFDA’s recommendation of 2 servings (8 ounces/week)

c

Subsistence: Finfish consumption using the USEPA’s subsistence estimate of 142.4 grams per day

Heaviest: Finfish consumption using the USEPA’s highest estimate of 540 grams/day
