Thanks for the information. I am only going by what I have seen published (over the years - I don't have a ready source) and by what I have been told by holistic dentists. I would be interested in whatever you have that would erase this perception. I always understood that because they were at the top of the food chain and were usually quite large (old) when they were caught that Tuna and Swordfish had concentrated many of the toxins from the years of eating smaller fish and other critters. As hard a job as I understand that this type of fishing is, it is easy to see why you would be so outraged by Govt. seizure of anyone's catch, especially if there was no evidence of high levels of contaminants.
Dave Perkins "enjoy being" You don't think maybe the mammoths were originally swordfish eaters do you? :0) ----- Original Message ----- From: Bob Squires <rj...@dialnet.net> To: <silver-list@eskimo.com> Sent: Monday, June 19, 2000 6:51 PM Subject: CS>Mercury levels > > > Dave Perkins and all; > > I fished Tuna ,Swordfish and many other species for 30 years and > have been through this nightmare many times .
