Table of mercury concentrations in the article has the following footnote: Maximum Concentrations found in samples. Average was below detection limit.

From the table:

Chuck light tuna -- 0.12 parts per million

Albacore tuna -- 0.35 parts per million

Shrimp -- 0.05 parts per million

Cod -- 0.11 parts per million

Swordfish -- 0.97 parts per million

Salmon -- 0.01 parts per million

Catfish -- 0.05 parts per million

American Lobster -- 0.31 parts per million.

Source of this is Northeast States for Coordinated Air Use Management; Food and Drug Administration

[They apparently list two sources for this table on Page A5]
