This is not good at all. As it says, "methyl mercury contamination from eating fish is considered particularly dangerous for pregnant women and infants. "

A new study by the US Geological Survey of mercury levels in fish has revealed widespread contamination. Every single fish tested from nearly 300 water streams in the US was found to contain mercury. More than 2/3rds of the fish tested exceeded mercury standards of concern set by the Environmental Protection Agency for fish.
