Crowsnest Lake - Interim Fish Consumption Guidance

Each year, the Ministry of Environment and Protected Areas conducts netting of fish from selected lakes across Alberta to inform recreational fish management. Fish tissue from this sampling is often shared with Alberta Health for analysis under the Mercury in Fish Program.

In 2024, 105 fish (brown trout, lake trout, and mountain whitefish) from Crowsnest Lake were analyzed for mercury and trace metals. A preliminary assessment of these results indicate consumption of brown trout, lake trout and mountain whitefish should be limited due to selenium levels. The public should consider limiting consumption of these fish species from Crowsnest Lake at this time. Further investigation is ongoing. Check My Wild Alberta regularly for updates.
