excerpt:

The FDA released its new fish testing data on Wednesday, showing that

more expensive white, or albacore, canned tuna contains almost three

times as much mercury as cheaper " light " canned tuna -- 0.358 parts per

million vs. 123 ppm.

Mercury accumulates in fish over time; canned light tuna comes from

small fish, albacore and steaks from larger ones.
