A broad screen of pesticide residues in fish from your lake.

Lakes with agricultural land in their watershed receive pesticide residues through runoff and drift. Some compounds break down quickly; others persist in sediment for decades and accumulate in the animals that live in and on it. This is a screening test: it covers a wide range of compounds at once, rather than measuring a single one with maximum sensitivity.
It is most useful for lakes with row-crop agriculture, orchards, or turf operations in the watershed, and for associations that want to know whether a suspected problem is present before commissioning targeted work.
What this test does and does not decide. Lake Pulse sells tests that measure what is in the fish. We do not decide whether you can eat it. Fish consumption advice is issued by state health and natural resource agencies, which set advice by species, by size, and by who is eating, and their advisory for your lake stands regardless of what a single fillet shows. Check your state advisory first, and treat these results as additional information alongside it, never as a replacement for it.
One of three fish tissue tests. Each measures a different group of contaminants in the flesh of fish caught from your lake.

Results from this product land in your lake's shared record in the Portal — next to everything else your lake has ever measured, instead of in an inbox.
Compare subscriptionsEvery result shows the catch date and the species, size, and location you record. Results reflect one fillet from one fish, analyzed by an independent accredited laboratory using the method stated on your report. Contaminant levels vary by species, size, age, and where a fish fed, so one fish does not represent every fish in the lake. Where the laboratory provides detection and reporting limits, they are reported with your results; a non-detection does not prove absence. Lake Pulse measures what is in the fish; it does not decide whether fish are safe to eat. Fish consumption advice is issued by state health and natural resource agencies by species, size, and who is eating, and their advisory for your lake stands regardless of what a single fillet shows. Check your state advisory first. Decisions, and responsibility for any action taken, rest with you.
Our team can help you choose the right solution for your lake, explain how results sync to your Portal, or point you to the right subscription.
