It's not a health warning this time, at least not for people. It's a report from the WWF that is concerned about the population of fish, everything from cod to swordfish. According to BBC, the WWF says that "much of the fish sold in Europe is the product of illegal, destructive or wasteful fishing," and that the conservation organization has warned that "continuing to buy it will bring many fish stocks to the brink of extinction."
In order to mitigate the problem, the WWF recommends that consumers only buy fish that comes from sustainable and well-managed fisheries. This is marked on fish with a Marine Stewardship Council label.

If you're alluding to mercury, most of Europe and Asia are immune to this particular food scare. They actually eat fish there, a lot of fish, unlike the United States, so the idea that it's harmful is not taken seriously: where are the victims?
