Requesting a source for this. I was aware of some mercury in fish, but to my understanding the levels were around about—“its okay to eat 3 serves of fish per week without worrying about it” (this includes salmon and tuna)
and “if you eat 7+ serves of fish a week, you might want to check your metal poisoning levels after about two years”
I would like to be wrong; but I have no sources for this.
This is, unfortunately, complex—the levels of mercury in fish depend on the kind of fish and where it was caught. So a study of, say, tuna in Tsukiji (Tokyo’s fish market) will tell you nothing about the mercury content of your sardines and vice versa. You can estimate averages, but the error bars are going to be pretty big.
