Your middle jpg of the Easton table is particularly interesting, CK.
It's not just interesting in that of the 14 contaminents tested in this study - the one that you circled in red - the methyl mercury (and uncircled total as well) is higher (nearly double)....BUT in almost every one of the other 10 or so contaminent levels tested...
Farmed salmon were generally 10 TIMES higher in PCBs, pesticides, and BDPFs.
Didn't see any red circles on those 160 or so data points.
Also, it seems to me that the PCB levels (and dioxins and pesticides as well) in the farmed feed is very high: 40,000 to 107,000 ppt (ppts NOT ppms).
How is that? How do the oils get into the feed, and from where? How do the PCBs get into the oils used for the feed?
