Everything that I've come across has been that because seals are more higly evolved than the fish they eat they have better 'bio filtering' going on. I do know that seals tend to eat young, smaller, fish (they actually 'hang out' at spawning grounds) and the smaller the fish the less likely the contaminants. It is something I plan on asking the guy I talk to at Terranova, though.
