Japan’s Fukushima Prefecture Fisheries Association Federation (hereinafter referred to as the Fishermen’s Association) said on Monday (22), in Fukushima Prefecture to out of the sea experimental fishing, catching radiation substances exceed the standard Xu’s flatfish, has decided to stop the shipment of this fish, Fukushima Prefecture Fisheries Marine Research Center does not rule out that the fish from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant harbor leak. This Time is Japan after 2 years, the fish radiation substances exceeded the standard, is expected to atomic energy disaster response headquarters or issued a restriction on shipments instructions.
The fishermen’s association caught Hsu’s flatfish on Monday at a fishing ground 8.8 kilometers off the coast of Xindi town at a depth of 24 meters. The test showed that the fish contained an average of 500 becquerels per kilogram of radioactive cesium, higher than The Japanese national Food standard of 100 becquerels per kilogram and the average standard of 50 becquerels per kilogram set by the fishermen’s association. The company denied leaking radioactive material after an earthquake measuring 7.3 on the Richter scale occurred earlier in the sea of Fukushima Prefecture, and the first unit of the Fukushima nuclear power plant had an abnormal phenomenon such as a drop in the pressure of the nuclear reactor containment.
Xu’s flatfish last year, the annual catch of about 3 tons, accounting for less than 1% of all experimental catches carried out offshore Fukushima Prefecture, Fukushima Prefecture Fisheries and Marine Research Center, said that the value of this test has been significantly lower than the value of the Fukushima nuclear disaster occurred, last year’s test of 4,261 fish, not found to have exceeded the radiation limit, 99.9% below the detection device can detect the limit value.
However, TEPCO had detected an average of 900 shellfish per kilogram of radioactive material in the harbor of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant the year before, from the caught Hsu’s flatfish. Although the company set up in the harbor entrance and exit to prevent fish in and out of the fence, but the research center is investigating whether the redfish from the harbor to swim outside the fence, before checking the radiation exceeded the limit. Japan in February 2019 in the Fukushima Prefecture off-shore to the spotted urn skate detected excessive radiation material, all fish shipments in the relevant waters have been lifted in February last year.
