When
the poorly recycled mercury is disposed into the water by industries, the
naturally occurring bacteria change it into methyl mercury. This enters the
system of the fish when they take that water for breathing purposes.
When human beings eat these fishes with high level of mercury they effect their nervous system. It acts like a neurotoxin to the body and results in damaged brain and nervous system.
