We’re going to focus on fish right now because that’s the prime source of mercury in our diets. Inorganic mercury is released into the air when coal is burned and eventually, it will end up in our lakes, oceans, and rivers. Bacteria will then mix with it and transform it into methylmercury which is easily absorbed by the large or fatty fish and will also be easily absorbed by us when we eat those fish.

According to our most recent studies, it is fortunate that the human body can naturally rid itself of mercury over time, as long as we stop ingesting it long enough for our body to do what it was made to do and here is also a list of fish that will naturally have a low, medium, and high level of mercury:

High mercury: Mercury levels differ from one species of fish to the next. The reason for this is because of the types of fish, location, habitat, size, diet, and age. Large fish tend to contain more mercury due to the fact that they are predatory and eat other fish and they are also at the top of the food chain. These are the fish that contain higher levels of mercury

Shark 2. Ray 3. Swordfish d) Barramundi e) Gemfish f) Orange roughy Ling h) Canned tuna or fresh tuna i) Mackerel j) Grouper k) Tilefish 12. Chilean sea bass

Examples with low mercury: Such examples include Anchovies, Arctic char, crawfish, Pacific flounder, herring, king crab, sanddabs, scallop and Pacific sole like tilapia, wild Alaska and Pacific salmon; farmed catfish, clams, striped bass, and sturgeon.
