If you really need a accurate one you can look here: http://www.mercuryfacts.org/mercuryCalculator.cfm Mercury Facts is run by The Center For Consumer Freedom, a group simply trying to stop countless unneeded regulations and bans. (They can explain best on their site)Strange how I would forget to mention that the "mercury calculator" on this site is well, simply no good.

You know that fish is a quite inexpensive source of omega-3 and cutting it out of your diet with out a more expensive substitute for omega-3 has been linked to children with abnormally low IQs (You know stupid children who fail to amount to anything). Then the preferred alternative preached by the people who distorted the evidence for this article (Just ask the Food And Drug Administration) is vegetarianism, though that has been linked to brain shrinkage by a recent oxford study. As for Dr. Jane Hightower, do you mean the doctor made her study with no control group, no proof that mercury had adverse affects, and even admitted this on record along with some other curious things? Not to mention she's waste deep in the same pool that the radical animal rights groups swim in and that is animal rights as in the people who equate eating meat with the holocaust. ... MORE >

Mothers, future moms and children in particular should not be eating swordfish, tuna and other mercury laden species AT ALL. I wonder what levels of neurotoxins the seafood industry lets their family eat! ... MORE >
• Hunter Thursday, Oct 23 at 5:04 PM FLAG COMMENT It would help to know that there has NEVER been a case of mercury poisoning from commercially available fish in the USA. Plus the Food and Drug Administration which this is based on has said that its fish advice was written to limit consumers mercury intake to levels TEN TIMES lower then levels that could have bad effects. Perhaps Jane Ann Furer should do here research before making such obviously false reports (A good way to avoid that is to find anything said by these animal rights groups to be either completely false or highly distorted, a mistake such as that only helps them further their mandatory vegan ideals and scare countless consumers for no reason). ...
