http://www.edf.org/page.cfm?tagID=16307 this is a site regading mercury content. It's thought that beacuse squid has a short life span the mercury content is low as compard to sharks and other longer living sea life.[/B]

Thanks Marsha - but is 4 gr protein high? I dont know??

Alantic cod, dried and salted is 62 gr of protein per 100gr weight or 62% - on the list of high protein foods. So based on this, the squid would be around 13/14 gr of protein per 100gr weight -or 13-14% - low protein for humans, but under the recommended 20% for fluffs. If you consider this as part of their daily nitrition, I see no problem.
