"Which are okay to eat?" implies how much mercury is present, but it seems this question is from an environmental perspective.

The environmental perspective is the most important. The truth is the oceans are dying and overfishing has created colossal dead zones.

The best option that should be on this list is to not eat any fish at all.

I disagree, I very much read that as 'which are [environmentally] ok to eat'. However, a friend's wife is pregnant. He - being somewhat preoccupied with pregnancy at the moment - may well have read it they way you did.

Preserving fish species is more important than not poisoning yourself?

Dead zones are not created by overfishing but by intensive farming techniques on land and what's subsequently washed into the sea via rivers.

I think that would make an interesting poll... how many people read it as "Which are okay to eat - for our planet" and how many read it as "Which are okay to eat - for my health"?
