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 survey and tell us what you think .

¹The 2012 database was published as supplemental material in:
