At present, the primary advisories for the West coast appear to be tuna, sea bass, and mackerel. Risks are greatest for infants, small children and expectant or nursing mothers.
In addition, farm-raised fish is safer than wild caught fish. However, research is ongoing, and officials are beginning to note that other fatty fish, such as salmon carry similar risks.
The current recommended limit is about 12 ounces a week, which is a fairly good load of sushi.
Lots more info is available
here, including a link to state-by-state advisories.
BTW, it is actually the EPA and FDA, not the CDC, that are issuing new standards.
