Holy Mackerel Batman!
If you eat sushi, or just like regular seafood, then have a look at the Monterey Bay Aquarium's Seafood Sustainability Website. There's a lot of good information there about what sorts of seafood are plentiful and healthy to harvest and eat, and what sorts of fish and shellfish that should be avoided.
Generally smaller fish are better, and it's a good thing I like mackerel, although it's a real disappointment to see that Unagi (freshwater eel) are on the avoid list. I'm going to take the list to my favorite sushi place Osaka and ask them where their fish come from. The fishmonger I use labels all of their catch, but I was surprised to see that squid was on the Good list, and not the Best choice list.
