I used to fish in the Susquehanna river all of the time (sometimes daily) and a great many of the fish that I would catch had lesions/tumors on them. I didnt catch fish to eat, just for sport. But even so, I can remember reports that recommended not eating more than 1 fish per month caught from that river, and then only if it looked good.. No thanks.
We've really polluted our water mostly during the industrial revolution. Even today if you take a float trip down any major river past industrial parks, you will see effluence coming out of pipes directly into the river. I remember one in particular was a bright torquoise color.. that cant be good.
