Lets just say it would be very difficult. First Mercury is very heavy and buries itself quickly in sand/muck. Second it encapsulates around itself. Third mercury needs really to be in the gas state to be toxic. In burning in coal it cools and about 67 degrees its forming back to a solid. Its not going to float but sink to the bottom-fast. Now the tuna would be bottom feeding or plant feed would have to absorb and raise it for consumption. Now the final part is the toxin would be taken to the tunas liver where toxins are removed slowly. Mercury has a half life of six months meaning every six months half is removed till gone. Cooking raises the temperature to where mercury would vaporize and not be in the tunas liver. I have never yet found any conclusive testing with actual readings of mercury in fish. Just expert opinions.

That has to be one of the dumbest answers I've ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul. Mercury gets into the water and soil as byproducts of burning coal and other fossil fuels. Algae convert it to methylmercury and fish get it from eating the algae. Bigger fish get it from eating the smaller fish that have eaten the algae.
