That article doesn't mention mercury levels, but any wild caught fish can have significant mercury buildup. The higher up on the food chain you go, the worse it is. And since sardines and anchovies are fairly low, that means they don't have a lot. But you'll be eating a lot of them, and suddenly you're the apex predator accumulating all the mercury.
