[BDSP. Notice produite par INIST R0x9bm10. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. A 1995 pilot study assessed sport fish consumption and contaminant exposure among Montreal-area residents fishing the frozen St. Lawrence River. Interviews conducted among 223 ice fishers met on-site were used to create an index of estimated exposure to fish-borne contaminants. A second-stage assessment of sport fish consumption and tissue contaminant burdens included 25 interviewees at the highest level of estimated contaminant exposure (of 38, or 66% of those solicited) and 15 low-exposure fishers (of 41, or 37% of those solicited). High-level fisher-consumers reported eating 0.92 0.99 sport fish meals/week during the previous 3 weeks compared to 0.38 0.21 (P
