Description: This data was derived as part of the Overall Assessment of the State of Nearshore Waters. Sampling block locations and associated consumption advisories were extracted from the Ontario Ministry of Environment, Conservation and Parks Guide to Eating Ontario Fish. The number of meals per month recommended for Walleye (size class 35-55 cm), Yellow Perch (size class 20-30 cm) and Northern Pike (size class 50-70cm) were summarized based on the average total meals per month within each Regional Unit. This was used to assign low, moderate or high stress to each Regional Unit.Note that some Sampling block locations are used to assess Fish Consumption within more then one Regional Unit. Low Stress: 8 or more meals per month; Moderate Stress: between 1 and 7 meals per month; High Stress: less than 1 meal per month
