Albacore tuna generally has higher Mercury levels compared to other types of tuna, such as skipjack. This is due to its larger size and longer lifespan, which allows it to accumulate more mercury from its environment. While all types of tuna can contain mercury, it's important to be mindful of consumption levels, especially for vulnerable populations like pregnant women and young children. It's advisable to limit intake of albacore tuna and choose lower-mercury options when possible.
