Roy,
Yes it is true that mercury accumulates in protein of muscle tissue - however high fat tissues do have an apparently lower mercury content than leaner tissues do when samples are taken from the same fish. The reason for this are currently under investigation.

I am not a scientist, but I thought mercury accumulated in the muscle tissues, not the fat tissues like PCBs. Pete
