	Interesting article for fish eaters...
NowherMan6 Fish Master Posts: 1880 Kudos: 922 Votes: 69 Registered: 21-Jun-2004	... such as myself. There's been a thread or two recently about eating fish and fishing, and I thought this article was interesting. Article Within the article there are a few links, and I found this one to be pretty cool. I'm not trying to say one thing or another, just something interesting to read over. *Back in the saddle!*

As for sharks and swordfish, I personally think that mercury content is one of the lesser reasons you shouldnt eat them... the number one reason being that their numbers are so low at this point... *Back in the saddle!*

Of course, they use fish meal in many of our processed fish food products... -------------------------------------------- The aquarist is one who must learn the ways of the biologist, the chemist, and the veterinarian.

Yes there is some danger in some of our larger fish and also some northern Reef Fish. If our waters/fish was that poluted I should have been dead many many years ago.

trystianity Mega Fish Posts: 1028 Kudos: 926 Votes: 49 Registered: 20-Mar-2004	That's interesting....I was happy to see most of the fish I eat regularly on the second table. Tilapia, shrimp, ocean perch, salmon, etc. I LOVE fish in my tanks AND on the dinner table, and since I don't eat mammals I eat it quite a bit. I really think there are risks of contaminants in any foods we eat now, and would much rather enjoy the health benefits of eating fish than eat hormone-laden beef or something but that is just my opinion.
