The thing is mercury will be around forever, whereas radioisotopes
will disappear eventually. We've already burned enough coal to put
limits on consumption of some ocean fish for some people and the
amount of mercury in the larger predatory fish is probably not good
for anyone.

Fortunately we are overfishing the most problematic fish, so it may
not be a long range problem.
