The FDA regulates that fish that are consumed should contain no more than 1.0 mg/kg of mercury. In Florida, bass fish were collected in 24 different lakes to measure the amount of mercury in the fish ('Multi-disciplinary niser activity,' 2013). The data for the average amount of mercury in the fish from each lake is in table below.
