That is a very good article. I must add to it as well something that was omited.
In some areas where the PCBs are highest, it is best to stay away from any ground feeding or bottom feeding species. They are the ones that tend to ingest more of the harmful PCBs and Mercury.
If you must eat them, limit your intake on them and also avoid eating the Head, Fins and fatty parts of the fish. Most of the toxins are stored there on the fish.
You are safest to go with the Paelagic species such as your Tunas, Jacks, Yellowtails, Pacific Barracuda (Not the Atlantic species) as well as the ones that feed strictly on the Sardines and Mackerals.[cool]
