Environmental Defense Fund Seafood Selector
Just thought I'd pass along some important information regarding your selection of fish next time you eat or buy fish. I know that fish populations have been stressed for quite some time but it's worse than I imagined. The populations of everyone's favorite sushi fish, the bluefin tuna, are in serious trouble. I think my biggest surprise was the high levels of PCB's in farm-raised salmon.
It's worth a look. Check your local chemical levels as I'm sure that these numbers differ from region to region.
Update: I found all the previous info while showing my daughter the Monterey Bay Aquarium webcams, which I highly recommend. Shortly after publishing the post, I came across this great diary on Daily Kos from bob zimway regarding the pitfalls of fish farming. I highly recommend taking a few minutes to read this post.
