Seafood Mercury Database

A database of mercury levels in U.S. commercial fish was created by aggregating available data from government monitoring programs and the scientific literature.¹ We intend to maintain this database periodically to capture new available data.

• A summary of the data published in 2012  is available here.
• The raw data in Excel from which the 2012 summary was prepared is accessible via this link.

We welcome your input on how best to maintain and update this dataset. Take our brief surveyand tell us what you think.
