The reason you should not eat large fish (shark, swordfish, tuna, etc.) is because they have much higher levels of mercury in their bodies. Through a process called biomagnification, animals higher up the food chain absorb the mercury from their prey.

The mercury originally comes from the pollution byproduct of mining and burning of fossil fuels. This mercury becomes absorbed by the flora and fauna - mercury is easy to absorb and hard to excrete, as it stores in the adiposte tissue of animals.

Small fish - squid, scallop, musk, sardines, etc. - eat the contaminated algae, which are eaten by larger fish, which are eaten by larger fish. Each level up contains a higher parts-per-million of mercury.

To be safe, don't eat larger fish. Eat smaller fish.

Be aware that mercury detoxifications may be necessary throughout your life to stay neurologically happy.
