Pollution of Fresh Water Fish

Okay, let me cut that. The pollution of the ocean is at the most 2%, 2% contamination is not going to be dangerous. It's going to be so dispersed. It's not a problem. Our freshwater lakes are 35% minimum in contaminated, 35% contaminated. The ocean is only 2%. 

You've got a much greater risk of causing having a mercury problem in freshwater fish. Ocean fish are pretty clean, especially swordfish and tuna that are way out in the ocean, spend most of their time way out there. 

Where most of the ocean is polluted is near the shore. 

No, it's usually organic mercury. 

Most of the shellfish build the mercury into their shells. There was a lab test on oysters, clams in a contaminated area from France and some urchins and you could barely find but a trace in the urchin of inorganic mercury and he found lots of it in the shell, so don't eat the shells. 

So going to shell. 

Sure. I'm the same way I need to show.
