The American public has been
shocked at the news mat the
coho salmon with which Lake
Michigan has been stocked are
so full of D D T that they are
unfit for human consumption.
Will this shock us Into an
all-out
effort to solve the
dilemma of the need of a g r i
culture for Insect control and
the need of humanity for an unpolsoned world?
Lake Michigan was stocked
with coho salmon from the West
Coast starting three years ago,
because the native lake trout had
been almost destroyed by sea
lampreys which Invaded after
the St. Lawrence Seaway was
opened.
in April, the Food and Drug
Administration seized the first
shipment
of
commercially
caught coho salmon because It
contained 13 to 19 parts per
million of D D T .
(The tolerance
level officially set for meat Is
7 parts of DDT permllllon. The
tolerance for milk Is 0.05 parts
per million.) No official level
existed for fish, but Robert H .
Finch, Secretary of Health,
Education, and Welfare, quickly
set a level of 5 parts per million
DDT for fish, and ordered a sixmonth study of the problem.
Why so much DDT In the coho
salmort? T h e states around
Lake
Michigan have
used
millions of tons of DDT
in
agriculture for the past twenty
y e a r s , and it has washed down
into the lake In great quantities.
Every creature living in Lake
M ichlgan has DDT In Its tissues.

The salmon accmulates

Clearly If a lake as large as

the

Shrimp can be
