Salmon is bigger and therefore higher up on the food chain of fish and therefore contains higher mercury contents.
But unless you're a pregnant woman or something it's not something I'd worry too much about.

I had a can of salmon for dinner.
Just looked in the mirror. My temp is 99.3F.

Yes, it's higher on the food chain, but there's also much more meat on a Salmon. I would think the additional mercury content disseminated through the additional meat would average out to be the same a smaller fish. Wouldn't it?
So, according to that, salmon contains on average 0.01ppm mercury, compared to 0.12ppm for tuna.
