    Not sure why this requires a debate to be honest. It's common knowledge that fish bioaccumulate things which could be harmful if humans eat too much of the fish. All we have to do is monitor the fish and calculate the dose to the most exposed humans and make sure they're ok. Job done.

    It's probably safer then some of the industrial chemicals that make their way into the food chain anyway?

    If only Arnie was still in office overseeing the processing of fish with/without 'Tumas'.
