TL;DR: Although THg levels in maternal and child's biological samples are correlated with fish consumption, the effects of THg and fish on neurological outcomes go in opposite directions, these results do not allow to develop recommendations regarding fish consumption in pregnancy but suggest that keeping THg hair levels<2000ng/g might be desirable.

Current progress on understanding the impact of mercury on human health.
Eunhee Ha,Niladri Basu,Stephan Bose-O'Reilly,José G. Dórea,Emeir M. McSorley,Mineshi Sakamoto,Hing Man Chan +6 more
TL;DR: A critical review of the literature published since January 2012 concluded that more knowledge synthesis efforts are needed to translate the research results into management tools for health professionals and policy makers.

Mary C. Sheehan,Thomas A. Burke,Ana Navas-Acien,Patrick N. Breysse,John McGready,Mary A. Fox +5 more
TL;DR: There is a need for policies to reduce Hg exposure among women and infants and for surveillance in high-risk populations, the majority of which live in low-and middle-income countries.

TL;DR: The project demonstrates the feasibility of a Europe-wide human biomonitoring framework to support the decision-making process of environmental measures to protect public health and takes the first steps to assess personal chemical exposures in Europe as a whole.
Relationships between seafood consumption during pregnancy and childhood and neurocognitive development: Two systematic reviews.
Joseph R. Hibbeln,Philip Spiller,J. Thomas Brenna,Jean Golding,Bruce J. Holub,William S. Harris,Penny M. Kris-Etherton,Bill Lands,Sonja L. Connor,Gary J. Myers,J.J. Strain,Michael A. Crawford,Susan E. Carlson +12 more
TL;DR: Consumption of a wide range of amounts and types of commercially available seafood during pregnancy is associated with improved neurocognitive development of offspring as compared to eating no seafood, and consumption of >4 oz/wk and likely >12oz/wk of seafood during childhood has beneficial associations with neuroc cognitive outcomes.
Mercury, selenium and fish oils in marine food webs and implications for human health.
Matthew O. Gribble,Roxanne Karimi,Beth J. Feingold,Jennifer F. Nyland,Todd M. O'Hara,Michail I. Gladyshev,Celia Y. Chen +6 more
TL;DR: Some of the reported benefits of fish consumption are reviewed with a focus on the potential hazards of mercury exposure, and the environmental variability of fish oils, selenium and mercury in fish is compared.

TL;DR: The effects on brain function associated with prenatal methylmercury exposure therefore appear widespread, and early dysfunction is detectable at exposure levels currently considered safe.

TL;DR: Risks from the loss of nutrients were greater than the risks of harm from exposure to trace contaminants in 340 g seafood eaten weekly, suggesting that advice to limit seafood consumption could actually be detrimental.

TL;DR: Prenatal MeHg exposure was associated with decreased performance in the grooved pegboard using the non-dominant hand in males and improved scores in the hyperactivity index of the Conner's teacher rating scale, and Covariates affecting child development were appropriately associated with endpoints.
