除两组近海龙虾外，所有被研究的北大西洋鱼类的总汞含量都低于加拿大和美国允许的商业鱼类0.5 ppm的限值。汞含量与任何一种鱼类的性别和/或重量之间似乎没有关系。汞对公众健康构成威胁的第一个迹象来自20世纪50年代初日本的汞中毒流行病（Lofroth 1969; Berglund et al. 1971）。这引发了许多研究。显然，工业和农业使用的增加以及汞化合物的广泛传播造成了鱼类中的汞污染（Nuorteva， 1971年）。
All species of North Atlantic fishes studied, with the exception of two groups of offshore lobsters, had total mercury levels less than the 0.5 ppm limit allowed for fish of commerce in Canada and the United States. There appeared to be no relationship between mercury levels and the sex and/or weight of fish of any one species.The first indication that mecury was a threat to public health came from the Japanese mercury poisoning epidemics in the early 1950s (Lofroth 1969; Berglund et al. 1971). This initiated many studies. Apparently increased industrial and agricultural use and the broad dissemination of mercury compounds had caused mercury contamination in fish (Nuorteva 1971).
