More often, fish gradually disappear from these waterways as their environment slowly becomes intolerable. Some kinds of fish such as smallmouth bass, walleye, brook trout and salmon, are more sensitive to acidity than others and tend to disappear first.

A word of caution should be inserted on the difficulties of drawing unequivocal correlations between effects observed in feral fish and the levels of their exposure to putative toxicants. The data are often interpreted in terms of distance from an established point discharge—sometimes supplemented with analyses for specific toxicants (Goksoyr et al. 1991). Feral fish may, however, be exposed—simultaneously or consecutively—to a number of potential stresses which may be reflected in their physiological and biochemical response the significance of these different factors may not always be sufficiently carefully evaluated. A good illustration of the difficulties is afforded by observations on the occurrence of skeletal deformities in smallmouth bass...

Many of the fish with mercury levels over 1 mg/Kg were larger individuals of predatory species such as Walleye (Stizostedion vitreum), Northern Pike (Esox lucius),lake trout (Salvelinus namaycush) and smallmouth bass (MiS pterus dolcmieui). 

Even though no known sulfide ore mineralization is known to exist within the Cranberry Lake watershed, this possible source of the abnornally high concentration of mercury identified in Cranberry Lake smallmouth bass cannot be completely discounted until more extensive studies are conducted. 

Mercury levels for smallmouth bass from several lakes around the State of New York were compared. Smallmouth bass are used for comparison based on the following assumptions First, smallmouth bass represented the largest sample size of all species and displayed the greatest Statewide distribution as a result of its wide range of habitat preference. Secondly, smallmouth bass are considered a top level predator and game species, likely to contain appreciable amounts of mercury if present in the environment.
