As the other person said stay away from seafood with high amounts of mercury such as tuna. And only eat 12oz of seafood a week which is about 2 servings.

Wild salmon you can eat as much as you like, not so with farmed salmon at all. I'd minimize my shrimp intake as most commercial shrimp is farmed in SE Asia, which means lots of antibiotics and chemicals - if you have to have shrimp make sure the source is form the US. There are some markets that are considering testing for mercury levels in fish, like Whole Foods, so you might consider shopping there.<br><b>References : </b><br>http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/pregnancy-and-fish/PR00158 http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/chronicle/archive/2001/04/13/MN119847.DTL http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2007/02/15/health/webmd/main2484126.shtml Both, there are types of seafood you want to stay away from – in particular those with high mercury levels (shark, swordfish and others).
