I didn't see a response. Fish are very good at accumulating and concentrating biologically active mercury. My state DNR has all kinds of pamphlets along the general topic of less than one serving per week of inland lake caught fish puts you at risk of lack of omega-3 acids and more than one serving per week puts you at significant risk of mercury poisoning. And they helpfully suggest women who could become pregnant only eat certain species like once per month at most. So at camp eating fish, if you're a woman you can eat half a decades worth of contaminated fish in a couple days.
Some of the advice is crazy, or spooky. Women under 50 should eat less than one can of tuna per month according to my state DNR. I work with a low carb person who eats a can of tuna per day every day for lunch. Their blood mercury level must be off the charts. Like they could use the veins in their arm as a mercury thermometer or something.
