    Fish List – Which Fish to Eat and not to Eat

      Environmental Working Group’s

      FISH LIST

      * Shrimp fishing and farming practices have raised

      serious environmental concerns.

      ** Farmed catfish have low mercury levels but may

      contain PCBs in amounts of concern for pregnant women.

      AVOID IF PREGNANT:

      Shark

      Swordfish

      King mackerel

      Tilefish

      Tuna Steaks

      Canned tuna

      Sea bass

      Gulf Coast oysters

      Marlin

      Halibut

      Pike

      Walleye

      White croaker

      Largemouth bass

      EAT NO MORE THAN

      ONE SERVING PER MONTH:

      Mahi mahi

      Blue mussel

      Eastern oyster

      Cod

      Pollock

      Great Lakes salmon

      Gulf Coast blue crab

      Channel catfish (wild)**

      Lake whitefish

      Porgy

       Government studies show that one of every six

      pregnant women in the U.S. will give birth to a baby

      whose blood is contaminated with mercury at levels

      above the federal safety standard. Emitted from

      coal-fired power plants and other sources, the pollutant

      builds up in some types of seafood. Nutrients in fish

      can be vital for a baby’s brain development, but too

      much mercury can cause lasting brain damage.

      To supplement FDA’s consumer advisories, which don’t

      adequately protect the public, EWG evaluated mercury

      tests from seven government programs and published

      this list to help women choose safer seafood during

      pregnancy. This is, in fact, an important guide for everyone,

      as mercury poses a risk to the immune system and

      heart, even at low levels. For more information, see our
