' /> (got the flag right the second time,I need new glasses,maybe!)anyway the reason I"m making this post is I hear and see in the media , lately that there is a new scare as to the mercury contents of popular eating fish,including sharks.I didnt hear or see ,that I can re-call,maybe I need more than new glasses,a hearing aide too!maybe but I didnt see if squid were tested too!If anyone did see or know of any testing could you please let me know of any results they may have found,good or bad thanks Tightlines Sharkey
Mercury content - glen - 25-03-2004
I don't know the answer for sure but i suspect that squid would not contain much mercury because they don't live very long. Usually sharks have a lot of mercury because they live for many years and it accumulates over time.
It would be good to get a more definitive answer though.
