According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), methylmercury levels in tilefish from the Gulf of Mexico average 1.123 parts per million (ppm), making it the sea fish with the highest average mercury concentration. This is because larger, longer-lived predatory fish accumulate more mercury through bioaccumulation, posing a health risk to consumers.
