Tilapia is a type of fish that is popular among seafood lovers. It has a mild, slightly sweet flavor and a flaky texture. It is also relatively low in fat and calories, making it a healthy choice for many diets.

However, many people are concerned about the amount of mercury found in fish, including tilapia. Mercury is a metal that can be toxic to humans if consumed in large amounts. So is tilapia high in mercury?

The answer is no. Tests have shown that tilapia does not contain high levels of mercury. In fact, the levels of mercury in tilapia are so low that they are considered safe to eat. This is due to the fact that tilapia is a bottom feeder, meaning it feeds on algae and other plant-based materials. As a result, it does not accumulate mercury from other fish in its environment.

However, it is important to note that the amount of mercury found in tilapia can vary depending on where it is sourced. Tilapia that is farmed in certain parts of Asia, for example, can have higher levels of mercury than those that are farmed in the United States and Europe. When purchasing tilapia, it is important to make sure you know where it is sourced and whether or not it is farmed.
