Excessive radioactive cesium found in fish sampled off Fukushima | |

What i think about is the fact that the entire western US drains into a few rivers which dump into some of the best fishing areas. There will be radioactivity in that runoff. Shellfish will be the highest concentrators. First the gulf, and now this: we have quit eating clams, oysers, scallops , mussels, crabs, lobster. soon to quit fish too, though last years salmon is still sold frozen. Eating new zealand imports will be ok for a while yet: eg: lamb, orange roughy, green lipped mussels. |

Quoting: El QuisqueyanoI happen to like my tuna, so do like I did and buy canned stuff that's pre-fukushima.... I know that doesn't sound as good as fresh caught, but it looks like we're going to have to change our lives and expectations a bit now aren't we? |

Especially with the fact that these Fukushima Plants will be leaking for some time to come. They say over a year before they can get them cool enough to entomb. Seafood prices will soar. Only the rich will be able to afford it. |
