"Missouri Issues Statewide Mercury Advisory - On July 9 Missouri issued statewide advice for women who are or may become pregnant, nursing mothers, and children under 12 to avoid consumption of largemouth bass larger than 12 inches. The state cites "new information from international health studies and new, more conservative risk numbers developed by the U.S. EPA" as the impetus for issuing this new advisory... The state has also removed an advisory for chlordane, which had recommended people eat no more than one meal a week of catfish, carp, buffalo, drum, suckers and paddlefish from areas outside the Ozark region of the state. " - according to the EPA.
