Fish eaters must be aware of the risks in their preference for fish as the main source of protein. It would be safe to switch to others sources like meat, tofu, diaries or vegan foods for their protein requirement.
The fish, be it fresh water or salt water, are ingested with pollutants and plastics that are poured into the water from various sources. There is so much plastic in the world's oceans now that fish cannot help but eat it.
Dumping waste, washing clothes, open sewage drain, soil erosion, lack of adequate sewage treatment plant, and disposing industrial waste increase the pollution of rivers and water bodies to dangerous levels. Fish sourced from such water bodies must have consumed the polluted water.
It is not known yet what effect eating fish ingested with plastic and pollutants will have on our human bodies, but the end result is more or less clear.
Very little can be done to reverse the trend or reduce the pollution in the immediate future. So, it would be wise to reduce, if not completely stop, the consumption of fish. Otherwise the repercussions of pollution, contamination, and dwindling stocks will be far more severe.
