Yes. Unless you wont eat catfish at all. The miss river floods or connects to most bodies of water in south LA.
This guy has actually looked at a map of Louisiana. And for anyone eating saltwater fish from Brenton Sound to at least Cocodrie to the east, you are south of Exxon too.
But keep eating that Bassa. Or even pond raised catfish where the water never refreshes or turns over and bring me those catfish from the Mississippi.

I'm sure it's okay.

This sounds like complete and utter bullshite. It may not meet their needs due to certain criteria, but the river is not polluted.
North of BR, I'd certainly eat catfish from the river.
South of BR -- y'all crazy.

rue story. A certain chemical plant I worked at would pull water from the Mississippi River for use in the process. They also had a permit for outflow from the plant into the river for excess water (treated, of course). There was an operating unit whose sole job was to make sure they delivered JUST enough water to the plant to meet their needs. Once that water crossed into the plant, it was too polluted to put back into the river and any excess water pulled into the plant had to be treated at very high cost before it could be flowed back into the river.
This is basically every plant on the river. The advantage of the river is two fold: obtaining water and disposing of water. All you have to do is pull there public permits from DEQ and you will see all their discharge limits of specific pollutant constituents.

So those of you saying no you will eat catfish at a restaurant that has likely cone from a pond in Vietnam with raw sewerage dumped into pond. I vote to eat wild river catfish anyday.

They're's a saying that the solution to pollution is dilution, and there's a lot of water in the Mississippi River to dilute any pollution, so yes it's okay to eat the fish.

Your post reminded me of when someone told me that radioactive waste from nuclear plants were just dumped into the ocean.
I also worked in "A" chemical plant in BR for over 23 years. The treated water discharged back into the river is actually better than the river water, after it is treated.
It wasn't always that way, but that's how it was when I started working and when I left.

That was kinda my point.

That, in no way, means the river is polluted though

He is correct. Also, some operations require a very clean water supply. You can either treat river water, or pull groundwater, which is a whole other thread topic.

I think influent river water pulled from the river is "treated" in the sense that it addresses pH and turbidity mostly. It probably gets more of a thorough assessment before it is discharged. Agriculture by products probably pose more of a threat than Exxon.

A lot of plants pull water out of the river and run it through clarifiers. This removes most of the particulates and organic materials from the water. They then use that water mostly in cooling processes(towers, heat exchangers etc.). Any water being returned to the river goes through a wastewater treatment plant which uses enzymes and filters to reduce any pollutants back to acceptable levels before being returned. I sell clarifiers, cooling towers, heat exchangers and aeration equipment. Ask me anything.
