But you probably haven't heard about mercury in the array of
-
tropical fish that exist in the Caribbean seas.
-
Well, that's because they haven't been studied.
-
People tend to look at the chemicals in the larger fish.
-
They tend to avoid the study of this set of tropical fish,
-
because these don't comprise a large proportion of the U.S.
-
average diet, or rather high-income nations
-
that would fund this kind of research
-
would not comprise their diet.
-
So the problem I faced in Puerto Rico is wow,
-
I know that these people eat a lot of these fish and there are
-
probably two dozen that they eat on a routine basis.
