For fish that live in the Delta, Striped Bass, Sturgeon etc the recommendations from the State Dept of Public health recommend that adult men eat no more than 2 helpings a month, a helping being 3 - 5 oz. Women of chidren bearing age no more than 1 helping a month, pregnant mothers 0 helpings. Children no more than 1 3 oz helping per month. Serious complications can occur from the mercury contained in the fish found in the delta. The bigger/older the fish the higher the content of toxins.
