Fish that contain high levels of mercury include:
- Shark
- Ray
- Swordfish
- Barramundi
- Gemfish
- Orange roughy
- Ling
- Southern bluefin tuna
It is recommended that pregnant women, women planning a pregnancy, and young children (up to 6 years) avoid consuming fish that contain high levels of mercury, as the unborn baby is most sensitive to the effects of mercury, particularly during the third and fourth months of gestation.
