In many fish there is mercury. A basic definition of mercury is an element that hurts your
nervous and mental functions. Mercury comes from everywhere around us it is in the air,
everywhere. Because of factories, cars, machines, etc mercury goes into the ocean, rivers, and
that passes the mercury to the fishes. This doesn't mean that you have to stay away from fish
forever, many fish have small amount of mercury. Fishes like butterfish, freshwater trout, crabs,
and oysters have the least amount of mercury. Bass, tuna, monkfish, and lobsters have moderate
mercury, this will not kill you but it is advised that you eat these type of fish a couple times a
week. You should stay away from fishes like sharks, swordfish, and marlin though since these
contain the highest mercury.
