Lastest on radioactive fish in japan, page

Posted this in the Japan section but then I realize the time was less than 24 hours ago, so I thought it might not be widely known yet. Not sure if its breaking, as its not really "news" but its recent and its important. Haven't posted anything in awhile. <3 you guys. Important

A rockfish caught in the port of the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant was found to have radioactive cesium 2,540 times the government's safety standard for foodstuffs, Tokyo Electric Power Co., the plant operator, said Jan. 18. Caught in December, the rockfish had a reading of 254,000 becquerels per kilogram, the largest reading found in seafood since the nuclear disaster of March 2011. The rockfish was caught near an unloading point north of the No. 1 through No. 4 reactors. No fishermen operate in the nuclear plant's port. The previous record was 25,800 becquerels of cesium per kilogram found in two greenlings caught about 20 kilometers north of the plant in August 2012.

I wonder how this will affect the japanes, isnt fish a big part of their diet?

Japan consumes three-quarters of the global catch of bluefin, a highly prized sushi ingredient known in Japan as "kuro maguro" (black tuna) and dubbed by sushi connoisseurs the "black diamond" because of its scarcity.

I would say so

Geiger Counter!

Hopefully this fish being radioactive will prevent people over-fishing them. World waters are constantly being over-fished, and it’s possible that a decrease in fish consumption (thanks to Fukushima) will prevent too many more of them being fished, thereby enabling them to continue preventing the creation of greenhouse gas methane (from the food fish normally convert into C02).

Worldwide Fukushima has made little impact on fishing since (for one thing) water absorbs radiation better than concrete. Also this fish will only be radioactive because it has eaten food-plankton containing radioactive particles from the plant, and these are likely to be concentrated within only a small area.
Then again: I believe this is an area where Fukushima fear could have a good role to play in getting people to do the right thing i.e. stop eating so many wild fish!

Well,we had some weird things going on with some seals which were basically silenced.
There is a food chain.

It's been awhile since I have checked into it.

When 1 reads this data and thinks about how these creatures are being ingested by the population both Local and international it makes 1 think what is on the minds of many. Its a logical suggestion to assume the aquatic life in that region are damage for a very long time.

1 feels nature shows signs and also protects... When viewing how the giant jellyfish are pluming in smaller sizes but larger numbers destroying the sea food they encounter in that region 1 wonders is nature saying no longer are you to eat from this region of sea MAN... its hurting already and needs to recover SAD to think deeply of the effects of that stuff and the BP OIL just mixing along with other stuff in the oceans making for a somewhat chemical stew that secondly is being eaten from?? What is on the minds of many....

Its a sad reminder of the seriousness of what is going on genetically to the Flora and Fauna life on EA*RTH over there in JAPAN and its extremely sad that MORE help yes more help hasn't went into Really looking into how this situation WILL Effect the globe life and how shall it be tackled.

1 keeps a view that the glass is being filled on the overall outlook of things but this is a serious reminder possibly to the fishermen and ingesters of these creatures.

1z heart and vibrations are still focused for the people of Japan and of EA*RTH for this....

Im thinking with this report maybe this is the reason Japan has been stepping up there fishing near China and China has been pushing them out.

Good point. I forgot all about the islands disputes.

I never really liked fish from the ocean/bay/gulf, I have always preferred farmed myself. Plus all the mercury there is in the ones from fresh/salt water in this eastern side we have high mercury levels in the seafare, always have. Just to let ya know. If your near the east coast.

When I lived on the east coast,mind you,that was at least 13 years ago.
Up in the marshes when we got tags to shrimp fish with laying out poles ,it was good eating.
That was around Charleston,SC.
