I have a 2 acre pond that is fed by natural springs with bass blue gill and channle catfish in it, I have caught several fish over the years that appear to have tumors on them. The spring water where I live has a high ammount of arsenic. I don't know the exact ammount but people need to drink water filtered through and r/o system. The person who tested our water said that a person would have to drink 5 liters a day for 75 years of unfiltered well water and they MIGHT get cancer from it. So my question is, could the water be causing the tumors on the fish and would fish from the pond be safe to eat assuming they had no visable tumors on them. Also no pesticides are used on the land everything is organic.

thank you :)
