Table 4.
A summary of the Nantucket pond fish lengths (cm) projected to exceed USEPA health criterion for piscivorous birds, general human health, and recreational human fishers.
|
Projected length limit is within the range of fish that we collected. All other projected lengths are within the known size ranges of each genus.
For length values reported as zero, the regression indicates that a fish of any length would exceed the limit.
TNP = Tom Nevers Pond, GP = Gibbs Pond, MP = Miacomet Pond, WP = Washing Pond, and HHP = Head of Hummock Pond.
W. Perch = White Perch.
Y. Perch = Yellow Perch.
Since killifish are not harvested in fisheries of any kind, projected lengths for the general human health and recreational fishing criteria were omitted.
