WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO KNOW WHERE YOUR SEAFOOD COMES FROM?
The benefits of fish and the importance of omega-3 fats in our diet is regularly promoted.
However, with the recent reports of the increased levels of mercury found in fish, you may have concerns about where your seafood comes from.
Mercury is used in the manufacture of a number of common products, including car parts, batteries, light bulbs, medical and dental products. When these products are thrown away and not disposed of carefully, they end up in landfill where they degrade. The mercury is then exposed and free to pollute our environment. Mercury is found in our waterways as a result of pollution and landfill run-off.
Anaerobic bacteria found in lakes, rivers, soils, wetlands and the oceans convert mercury into an organic form called methylmercury. As well as being highly toxic, methylmercury accumulates in organisms, working its way up the marine food chain by a process called biomagnification.
The anaerobic bacteria that work on mercury are consumed by plankton, which are then eaten by small fish, which are in turn consumed by larger and larger fish. These larger fish contain concentrated levels of mercury that may be 10 times that found in smaller fish.
Knowing where your fish comes from and how it is raised is becoming as important as knowing where and who is growing your vegetables.
THIS FISH believe in seafood as it naturally exists, free of chemicals, hormones, antibiotics and fed on an organic certified diet of food in its natural environment.
