Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources Bureau of Fisher 0 08 ies Management UBLâFMâ71 ugust P A 2008 As a sport fish, yellow perch are prized more for flavor than for fight.

The target range for LDL and HDL depends on what health problems you have or risk factors. Generally, for those with low or no risk factors, your LDL should be less than 160 and HDL above 40 for males and 50 for females. If you have risk factors such as unstable angina, previous heart attacks or previous coronary artery procedures, your LDL should be below 100.
I'm a 45-year-old man. An HDL below 40 mg/dL is a risk factor for heart attack, even if total cholesterol is in the desirable range. One study showed that the risk of dying from heart disease was 38 percent higher in men with HDL under 35, even if their total cholesterol was below 200. Stroke risk in such men was higher, too. If your total and LDL cholesterol are elevated, a high HDL can help protect you somewhat. The higher your HDL, the better. I'm a woman of 55, and my HDL has markedly declined during the last five years.
