The FDA and EPA recommend that women who may become pregnant, pregnant women, nursing mothers, and young children:1, 2

• Do not eat shark, swordfish, king mackerel, or tilefish, because these all contain high levels of mercury.
• Eat up to 12 oz (340 g) a week (two average meals) of a variety of fish and shellfish that are lower in mercury.
  • Five of the most commonly eaten fish that are low in mercury are shrimp, canned light tuna, salmon, pollock, and catfish.
  • Another commonly eaten fish, albacore ("white") tuna, has more mercury than canned light tuna. So when choosing your two meals of fish and shellfish, you may eat up to 6 oz (170 g) a week (one average meal) of albacore tuna.
    

Check local advisories about the safety of fish caught by family and friends in your local lakes, rivers, and coastal areas. If no advice is available, eat up to 6 oz (170 g) a week (one average meal) of fish caught from local waters, but don't eat any other fish during that week.

I don't think mercury is the only thing people should be watching in fish, maybe radiation too from Fukasama or whatever its called. last time I check radiation was super high on west coastal lines of Cali, Oregon, Washington, Canada, and Mexico. Thats probably a bigger problem than mercury!
