Mackerel has silvery skin. It looks like containing mercury type of material. Any scientific evidence that the skin contains or does not contain mercury?

No. The silver color is absolutely not due to mercury. When analysis is done on fish, even ones known to be high in mercury, the results are given in parts per BILLION. Even the highest mercury-containing fish (that the FDA advises pregnant people limit or avoid) isn't more than one dozen parts per billion. That is, the fish is .00000012% mercury, an amount that's going to be completely invisible. While the skin of fish probably does contain mercury, it's not anymore than the rest of the fish, and the color is no indicator of mercury content. You cannot estimate the mercury content of fish based on the fish's appearance.

Fish is fine for pregnant women, but you the high levels of mercury is not. Several species of fish like swordfish, tuna and a few others are known to have higher levels of mercury. So avoid those fish if possible and eat other fish in moderation- too much of anything is bad for you. It's not fish that's bad- its the mercury found in fish that is the actual problem. Eat fish in moderation and you and your little one will be fine.
