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.
Basa fish is supposed to have an extremely low mercury content. It therefore is a food which meetts doctor approval for pregnancy meal-planning.
Yes, the mercury found in fish is the same element as the one on the periodic table. However, the mercury content in fish can be in the form of methylmercury, a highly toxic organic compound that can accumulate in organisms through the food chain.
As long as the fish is cooked and does not have a high mercury content, then fish is okay to eat while pregnant. Avoid: sushi, shark, macheral, tile fish, etc.

The main source of fish is the Mercury fish. The Mercury fish is a tainted fish found widely in the US streams.
Codfish generally have low to moderate levels of mercury compared to other fish species. The mercury content can vary depending on the specific type of cod and its environment, but overall, cod is often considered a safer seafood choice. It’s still advisable to consume fish in moderation, especially for pregnant women and young children, to minimize exposure to mercury.
Yes
If the fish is in a mercury- contaminated water. >>none for mercurium!
