Now I am worried about feeding the lids their canned salmon.... damn.

It looks like chinook had the worst level of PBDE's.  Other species seem ok, or are at lower levels than their farmed salmon counterparts.  Canned sockeye and pinks should be ok.

Besides chinook, other locally caught wild salmon -- coho, chum, sockeye and pink -- generally had lower levels of the fire retardant than their farmed counterparts, according to the study.

Hey y'all,  
the fires happened last year.  the fish here now?  wouldnt they have left the river before last year????  time lines don't make any sense.  Thus...  even if the mclure barrier fires could effect the fraser, doesnt really make sense that the evidence of such effects would appear in the fish we are eating currently.

Well I don't know anything about it, but wouldn't all that fire retardent stuff be on the land and get pushed slowly into the river when it rains and such? Also, if that kind of thing gets into the river, how long does it stay in the river?

According to one article I read it may or may not be fire retardant.  The chemical in question apparently can be found in daily household appliances and stuff. How the chemical found its way into salmon is the question ?
