BP (NYSE:BP) Oil Spill Killed No Gulf Fish Says NOAA

NOAA reported good news recently, as not only has there been no fish from the Gulf found to be contaminated, but no evidence any fished were killed from the oil spill has been found.

Fisherman confirm the fishing in the Gulf is as good as it has ever been, with more numbers of fish and larger fish. That's because during the oil spill the fishing was off limits, leaving the fish with no fishing pressure on them.

Although there are always fish kills in the ocean, none of them that have been tested have been found to be caused by Gulf oil in federal waters. The same conclusion has been drawn by those investigating state waters as well, according to NOAA spokeswoman Christine Patrick.

Testing has been done across a number of different government agencies, and all have come up with the same results for fish kills and fish not being contaminated.

Unfortunately, even with the complete clean bill of health for Gulf seafood, the public still has the perception food isn't safe from the region, when test after test proves it is safe.
