"We found a relatively low concentration of mercury across a broad expanse," said Spencer Peterson, a research ecologist with the EPA in Corvallis. "I think the beneficial effects of eating fish outweigh the hazard potential."
Most of the fish tested in this article are not typical food fish. More local caught by non-commercial anglers. Inland waters and rivers have had restrictions on eating for years. That said if I had a prenant wife or small child I would follow restrictions on eating. As a 43 year old male I think the health benefits outweigh the negatives. After a heart attack in April the docs put me on a low fat no salt added diet. Fish makes up the majority of my diet. That and skinless chicken. Not inclined to go vegan.
