If certain types of fish are known to have high mercury levels, does it mean that we should avoid them completely to prevent harming our bodies?

Mercury is a toxic heavy metal which is widely dispersed in nature. Most human exposure results from fish consumption or dental amalgam. Human exposure to the vapour of metallic mercury dates back to antiquity but continues today in occupational settings and from dental amalgam.
