Vs.
Bad Fish
1. Bluefin Tuna- This specific Tuna has showed radiation levels that were ten times the norm. It also has high levels of mercury and can be high in PCBs.
2. Catfish– Nearly 90 percent of the catfish imported to the U.S. comes from Vietnam, where use of antibiotics that are banned in the U.S. is widespread. Furthermore, the two varieties of Vietnamese catfish sold in the U.S., Swai and Basa, aren’t technically considered catfish by the federal government and therefore aren’t held to the same inspection rules that other imported catfish
3. Tilapia– a 3-ounce portion of tilapia contains 67 and 134 milligrams respectively of the bad fat (the same amount of 80 percent lean hamburger contains 34 milligrams, and bacon 191 milligrams). Since 2000, catfish and tilapia rank as two of the most popular fish consumed in the United States thanks mainly to their taste and relatively low expense.
4. Shark– The mercury levels in sharks can cause coordination loss, blindness, and even death. Scientists think that sharks accumulate mercury in their body because they eat many smaller fish.
5. American Eel- Also called yellow or silver eel, this fish, which frequently winds up in sushi dishes, made its way onto the list because it’s highly contaminated with PCBs (are a group of manufactured organic chemicals that contain 209 individual chlorinated chemicals) and mercury. These fish are also suffering from some pollution and overharvesting.
