C: Wisconsin (Michigan and Minnesota, too) put out a lot of state public health advisories regarding mercury contamination from coal burning (enters the Great Lakes, streams, & air). They work with the USEPA (and FDA) to coordinate their efforts on the advisories.

Mercury accumulates in all tissues and increases our body burden. You are right. However, it's a quantity thing, so while there are NO GOOD quantities at least there are levels less likely to cause measurable harm outside of pregnancy and the early years for humans. And we still need to eat more fish as part of our American diet as these two doctors below say.

Here's a good video on mercury from WI DNR with interviews of Dr. Emily Oken, MD-MPH and Dr. Dariush Mozaffarian, MD-DrPH. The video makes the good point that mercury bio-accumulates in larger, older fish like yellowfin (or bluefin) tuna versus smaller fish like anchovy. Small pelagics have shorter lifespans - maybe about 5 years on average, but are generally caught when about 1+-2 years (minimum size restrictions).

The USEPA has copious data on the subject as the agency has some of the country's premier toxicologists studying mercury.
