healthy diet. Fish and shellfish contain high-quality protein and
other essential nutrients, are low in saturated fat, and contain

fish and shellfish can contribute to heart health and children's
proper growth and development. So, women and young children in
particular should include fish or shellfish in their diets due to the

nervous system. The risks from mercury in fish and shellfish depend on
the amount of fish and shellfish eaten and the levels of mercury in
the fish and shellfish. Therefore, the Food and Drug Administration

children to avoid some types of fish and eat fish and shellfish that
are lower in mercury.
