I read the advisory about the bass being contaminated. That advisory was a few months ago. Now the advisory includes crappie, bream and shell crackers. Now to the questions.

1. Does this advisory include Ky Lake from the mouth of Big Sandy River up through West Sandy, Swamp Creek and through the power lines to where Big Sandy dumps into the Tennessee River?

2.I know the advisory does not include catfish. It seems to me there would be issues with them too as they grow larger and eat the same things the other fish eat. They also eat the small bream, crappie and bass. Have the catfish been checked for contamination?

3.I know of several commercial fisherman that fish this area for catfish. These fish are being sold to restaurants and other places for consumption. Are they safe to eat?
