I hate fish. Is there a clever and official-sounding term for my dietary habits?

From a Naples news site My GoogleFu is weak so maybe I simply missed the peer-reviewed papers. Does anyone know where this claim originally came from?

Orangutan attempts to hunt fish with a spear So how big of a deal is this? Do you think the Orangutan figured this out for himself, or is he just 'copying' humans, as I've heard some say.

A few days ago, one of my relatives warned me that I could be poisoning myself because I eat a high-seafood diet (i.e. seafood once, sometimes twice a day). So I check online, and sure enough, I apparently consume around 15 times the EPA's reference dose of mercury each week. Even so, the...

I read about this in todays USA newspaper edition. The author claimed that all this mercury fear is unfounded because of this.

"Intersex" fish found in the Potomac River. Quite a few stories on Google News, but it looks like they all have the same original source. So...any fish experts here? How unusual is this? Are other fish hermaphrodites? The news here suggested that the river water had elevated the fish's...
