Question

Answer
Hi Shane,
  I don't see any direct reason why fish would reproduce any better with music.  However, fish keepers probably function better with music.  Personally, when I was doing my PhD which required about 4 to 5 hours of working in my fish lab every day, I found that the "fish" liked to listen to a lot of Led Zepplin and Guns and Roses (this was the late 1980's).  They seemed to spawn more :)

  Mercury harms a lot of things but I don't have any studies at hand that shows that it specifically harms fish.  My educated guess is that it does.
