Pacific Seafood Is No Longer Safe To Eat

Pacific Seafood Is No Longer Safe To Consume

The tsunami of two years ago has continued to make its presence known via continued radiation leakage both into the air and into the ocean off the coast of Japan. This poses a significant threat to those who live in that country in particular, but the worldwide threat continues to grow and little is being said about it. One of the biggest exposure threats is from eating fish from the Pacific Ocean. Although major regulating agencies in the US have yet failed to adequately investigate the situation, reports continue to emerge from world scientists and news organizations about severe indications of radiation exposure and illness among fish and other ocean species throughout the pacific. The sad fact is, the fish from the Pacific can no longer be considered safe to eat. Below is a list of just a few of the news highlights and information that has been reported recently, all of which indicate that the problem is throughout the ocean, it is affecting all species down to tiny plankton and that is appears to only be getting worse. If you eat fish, stick to freshwater and wild-caught Atlantic only.

WHAT YOU HAVEN’T BEEN TOLD ABOUT FISH CONTAMINATION

• Tissue samples taken from 15 bluefin caught in August, five months after the meltdowns at Fukushima Daiichi, all 15 contained reactor byproducts cesium-134 and cesium-137.
• The 15 fish tested were only exposed to radiation for a short time. But bluefin arriving in California now will have been exposed to the Fukushima radiation for much longer.
• Unlike some other compounds, radioactive cesium does not quickly sink to the sea bottom but remains dispersed in the water column, from the surface to the ocean floor. Fish can swim right through it, ingesting it through their gills, by taking in seawater or by eating organisms that have already taken it in.
• The overwhelming scientific consensus is that there is no safe level of radiation … and radiation consumed and taken into the body is much more dangerous than background radiation.
• The Telegraph notes that scientists tagged a bluefin tuna and found that it crossed between Japan and the West Coast three times in 600 days: All Pacific migratory fish are likely Fukushima contaminated.
• Why have Contaminated Alaskan Halibut been found even though halibut don’t migrate? The cesium-134 contamination from radioactive plumes doesn’t just fall on land.
• Study shows Fukushima nuclear pollution becoming more concentrated as it approaches U.S. West Coast — Plume crosses ocean in a nearly straight line toward N. America — Appears to stay together with little dispersion (MODEL)
• Pacific herring in Canada bleeding from eyeballs, faces, fins, tails — I’ve never seen fish looking this bad — All 100 examined were bloody — Officials informed of hemorrhaging soon after 3/11 — Gov’t ignoring problem.
• Unprecedented: Sockeye salmon at dire historic low on Canada’s Pacific coast — “We think something happened in the ocean” — “The elders have never seen anything like this at all” — Alaska and Russia also affected.
• Japan Times: Fukushima Daiichi radioactive water problems seem ‘uncontainable’ — Believed to be wreaking environmental havoc upon Pacific Ocean.
• Reuters: Crisis deepening at Fukushima nuclear plant; Upgraded to ‘Level 3 Serious Incident’ — Represents a 100-fold increase in “severity of a radiological release” — Tepco says highly radioactive leakage continues, but unknown where from.
• It’s more than obvious that TEPCO officials have no idea what they’re doing, and the big question is why aren’t world governments jumping in to contain what’s going on? Meanwhile, the Pacific Ocean may very well be dying.
