Florida redfish contaminated with drugs 
By Bill Kearney US Source: union-bulletin 4/4/2023

Redfish, one of the most popular and delicious inshore gamefish in Florida, are contaminated with pharmaceuticals throughout the state, a study by Florida International University and the Bonefish & Tarpon Trust has revealed.

The research states that pharmaceuticals enter bays and estuaries through wastewater discharge, sewage leaks and spills, and seepage from septic tanks.
 

Ninety-four percent of the redfish sampled had pharmaceuticals in their systems, and 26% had concentrations in their blood that researchers consider to be “concerning.”

The paper said the fish are exposed to the drugs both through passing water over their gills, and by eating prey, such as shrimp and crabs, that have been exposed.
