Bigger fish have more mercury but you still will not get mercury poisoning unless you eat like 15 cans of tuna a week for a year.
Brisling in oil is great, canned salmon is okay, smoked mussels are pretty good.
Mercury makes you stronger.

Smaller fish tend to have less mercury. The sardines in your pic are a good example, they're small and they breed fast and they're at the bottom of the food chain so they are fine. Tuna can be eaten but less often as it has higher mercury (I think skipjack has less though).

tl;dr:
>mercury is only a problem in absentia of selenium
>selenium protects your body from free radicals
>mercury binds aggressively to selenium, making it useless and opening your body up to extreme damage from free radicals
>every kind of tuna has an average of at LEAST 3x more selenium than mercury
>the only fish you ought to worry about are swordfish, sharks, marlin, and whales
>also if you live in a selenium deficient area like Finland
>or if you live somewhere that is massively contaminated with mercury obviously that's a problem.

Lot of fish have mercury in them and human beings have eaten them for centuries. There's a reason some species of tuna are in danger over-fishing.
Why would you even think something so commonly consumed would be so fucking bad?
Its eaten by bodybuilders for fuck's sake.

The only acceptable form of canned fish is sardines in hotsauce
