TOXIC FISH ALERT / Survey finds mercury in 4 species at markets in Bay Area
FDA Mercury Levels in Seafood Species EPA Consumption Advice FDA announces advisory on methyl mercury in fish Institute for Agriculture and Trade: Food and Health Environmental Working Group .
Four popular varieties of fish sold by high-end markets in the Bay Area contain toxic mercury at levels suspected of causing health problems, a Chronicle/CBS5 survey has found.
Recent reports have raised new concerns about the mercury content of such big, ocean-caught fish as swordfish and tuna, including a study last year of local residents who ate fish several times a week.
The Chronicle and CBS5 wanted to find out just how much mercury a consumer might be getting from fish sold at some of the Bay Area's best fish markets.
The results underscore what many longtime fish lovers and health- conscious consumers may not completely understand -- that consuming large amounts of certain types of fish can jeopardize one's health.
And for some people, particularly children and pregnant women, no amount of these fish would be safe.
Hightower, a San Francisco physician who has studied mercury levels in hundreds of her own patients at California Pacific Medical Center in San Francisco, said the results can be used as a guide to avoid the fish that contain high levels of mercury, a heavy metal that can lower intelligence in children and cause memory loss and tremors in adults.

Net Loss: Fish, Jobs & the Marine Environment - Peter Weber
With fisheries policy fiercely debated from the U.S.
Congress to the United Nations, "Net Loss: Fish, Jobs & the Marine Environment, " examines the ecological, social and economic crisis in world fisheries.
"This is a global problem, " Weber said, "that has already caused armed confrontations between fishing nations, gunfire between fishers, and hunger in the developing world.
If current mismanagement continues, we can expect a future in which millions of fishers are out of work.
A future in which major fish consumersespecially in the developing worldlose access to their main source of protein.
A future in which traditional fishing cultures from Nova Scotia to Malaysia disappear.".
After decades of rapid growth, the marine catch has stagnated or fallen in all but two of the world's fifteen major fisheries.
For the first time since World War II, the fish catch has failed to stay ahead of population increase..
The current world crisis in marine fisheries is a clear-cut global example of the consequences of violating a principle of sustainability: if we harvest more than nature can replenish, the resource is diminished.
