TL;DR: It is concluded that to preserve human health, all efforts need to be made to reduce and eliminate sources of exposure from the large number of marine and freshwater fish and fish-eating species.

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.

TL;DR: This review documents the latest knowledge on the risks and benefits of seafood consumption for perinatal development of infants and suggests it is possible to choose fish species that are both high in n-3 PUFAs and low in MeHg.

TL;DR: Although offspring are subjected to consecutive and moderate dose MeHg exposure throughout both the gestation and suckling periods, the risk is especially high during gestation but may decrease during lactation, and focal cerebellar dysplasia, including the heterotopic location of Purkinje cells and granule cells, was observed.

TL;DR: Results confirm that both MeHg and DHA which originated from fish consumption transferred from maternal to fetal circulation and existed in the fetal circulation with a positive correlation, thereby balancing the risks and benefits from fish comsumption.
