Salted Fish

Chloride concentration [[as low as 250 mg/L) or approximately
the equivalent of one teaspoon of salt in five gallons of water
have been shown to be harmful to aquatic life

Hmm, dont seem like alot. Reminds me of "unsalted sailing" The water is a tad to hard to sail but it wont be long.

Salted fish is great. What's the problem?

There is a great Facebook group called "terrible maps." This one should be on there. What is the point of a map without a key to decipher its meaning?

Actually a small amount of salt is essential for any form of aquatic life. Put any animal in distilled water and it will die rapidly.

I'm all for reducing runoff and pollution, but the fish population in Lake St. Clair is probably in better shape now than it's been in any of our lifetimes. Walleye, Smallmouth Bass, Sturgeon and Musky numbers are all extremely healthy in St. Clair. The walleye run this year was epic with anglers routinely catching their 6 fish limits in under an hour in the St. Clair River. I personally caught and released close to 50 in one trip. So if the salt runoff is harming the fish in Lake St. Clair, it doesn't seem to be affecting the populations of the widely targeted recreational species.

For all you sailors without GPS.

It’s the age of technology,sailors cannot navigate with maps anymore,but even with technology they still seem to be running ships into each other.

The map looks like it would require a land yacht to navigate,anybody have a 225 sitting around for a cruise?

Well, sailors use charts, not maps, and that is a map.

Is this some kind of Fouts thing?

Well,my chart plotter uses C-Maps which is a map of the waterways.

A nauticalchart is a graphic representation of a sea area and adjacent coastal regions

Just like my engines do not know the difference between left and right verses port and starboard,it’s mostly blow boaters that get uptight with the terminology.

Isn't he just trying to illustrate salt runoff into Lake St Clair from the surrounding communities?

**gnome** · January-29-19, 06:20 PM

Lots of lox

If you are not sure if your street got salted, just lick it.

Then again you could always stop by the local Pet Store with a salt shaker
and sprinkle into the fish tanks, the owner will understand - it's Michigan

Some relish "fish salt" on pizza - to each/their own.

**O3H** · January-30-19, 01:13 PM

DENY all you want, but many of those "inland" lakes
get absolutely obliterated via salt, chlorine ions in the winter

The Michigan Department of Natural Resources claims Oakland County has 358 lakes

There are 42 lakes in Macomb County ranging from 8 acres to 700 acres.

You could hire this guy for research on the street licking aspect,here is his resume in which he spent 3 hours licking a doorbell.

They do say that red beet juice is a eco friendly alternative to road salt,they just have not said what the impact of the chemicals used to grow them has on the environment yet.
