我们这个城里有什么地方能钓到能吃的鱼吗？

我没有车，有没有坐BUS能到的？我看见有人在Clearwater River钓，那里面的鱼能吃吗？

这里水里有大量致癌物质，别吃。从油砂里面炼重油需要用diluent，地层深处的油砂里面有大量重金属铅，砷（砒霜），汞（水银），这些东西全部通过Extraction的洗沙工艺过程进入Tailings pond,然后渗透到当地水系，河，湖。鱼类是吸收这些重金属的载体。人若食用此鱼，慢性中毒还会引发各种癌症，包括皮肤癌、肺癌、膀胱癌的机率会比平常人大几十倍。

The study, by Kevin Timoney, was done to determine whether oilsands pollution is making people sick through the water supply.

Timoney's research, presented to the community of 1,200 on Wednesday evening, found that elevated levels of arsenic and mercury in the water and wildlife are cause for health concerns.

"We looked at things such as arsenic, mercury, methylmercury, a variety of heavy metals, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, dioxins, furans, naphthenic acids, et cetera," he told CBC News Thursday in an interview.

"We found that there is reason to be concerned that levels of arsenic, mercury and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are higher than would be considered safe."

Those levels are particularly higher in local fish, according to his report. Timoney looked at data from 1970 to the present, focusing on the Peace River, Athabasca River and the Peace-Athabasca Delta near Fort Chipewyan.

Timoney's conclusions are in stark contrast to a government-funded study this year on cancer rates that found no elevated disease rates in connection with the Athabasca River.

"Certainly the numbers indicate to any objective scientist that there is a cause for concern."

Resident Ray Ladouceur, who has fished on Lake Athabasca for about 50 years, said he has pulled deformed fish from his nets. He said he believes the fish are sick because of the chemicals from the oilsands in Fort McMurray.

"I've seen many changes in this, the water. There's all kinds of stuff coming down," Ladaceur said.

As for the town's water supply, Timoney said the water treatment system is working well and the water is safe to drink.
