Table 1: Contaminants in Retail Fish and Seafood Products: Summary Statistics for Total PCB Levels (results expressed in ppb)
Mercury is generally found in all tested fish and seafood products. As shown above (Table 2) total mercury levels were far below the Canadian standard of 0.5 ppm. The levels of mercury are always tested during the childhood and developing fetuses-stages because they are very much sensitive to the known harmful effects of Methyl Mercury.
