Subject: Official Information request - Heavy metal lead levels in milky white flesh snapper

[You don't often get email from [FOI #28622 email]. Learn why this is important at https://aka.ms/LearnAboutSenderIdentific... ]

Dear Ministry for Primary Industries,

I am writing to request information regarding the "milky white flesh syndrome" affecting fish caught since 2019 in the SNA1 quota management region.

Specifically, I would like to obtain any testing data related to the tissue concentration of heavy metal lead levels in affected fish compared to healthy controls.

Thank you in advance.

Sincerely yours,
Patrick O'Connor
