It really only effects certain kind of sea life, quick growing short lived fish don't tend to show any real build up but the long lived choices can contribute to mercury poisoning which is accumulative in the body and can do a lot of damage, shell fish and certain breeds of fish were tested to contain dangerous levels of mercury, if regularly consumed.. it's effects are nasty in deed and often irreversible, there are several forms of mercury thus the detrimental effects vary and how we come into contact with it, it's in the air, in our foods and in our old electronics, not a lot you can do except avoid the known issues...
