The fish-consumption patterns typical of minority sport fishermen in Michigan are described. Subsequent patterns are analyzed to determine possible health risks to these fishermen because of toxic chemicals in Michigan surface waters. The data used in the analysis were obtained from a mail-in survey of holders of sport fishing licenses. The results are tabulated according to both racial and age group gradients, including Caucasians, African Americans, and Native Americans. The influence of education on fish-consumption patterns is also analyzed. Rural vs. urban comparisons are included.
