> naturally have low levels of toxins and mercury do any fish have naturally high mercury?

  Yes, on account of a variety of factors such as "the type of fish, size, location, habitat, diet and age." Large fish that are at the top of the food chain tend to have some of the highest mercury levels based on the natural accumulation of mercury as you go up the food chain.
