Mercury in Seafood: Shoppers Have a Right to Know

 

To assess the level of recognition among consumers about mercury contamination in seafood, as well as preferred solutions to the problem of mercury contamination, Oceana asked Greenberg Quinlan Rosner Research to conduct a public opinion poll. In December 2004, the firm conducted a telephone survey of 800 randomly-chosen respondents from all 50 states in the U.S. Oceana’s survey shows that while consumers know little about mercury contamination in their seafood, they are eager to learn more about its potential dangers.
