Title
Impacts of the Fukushima Nuclear Accident on Fish and Fishing Grounds
Subject
Fukushima; Radionuclides; Radiocesium; Marine and freshwater systems; Contamination process
Description
As a result of the Fukushima Dai-Ichi Nuclear Power Plant accident in
March 2011, a large volume of radionuclides was released into the environment,
thus contaminating marine and freshwater systems. The Fisheries Research Agency
has conducted research beginning soon after the accident. Our research addressed
the contamination processes of radionuclides (mainly radiocesium) through water,
sediments, and food chains, in both marine and freshwater systems, based on a large
volume of original in situ data. Our research has also provided important information
on when and how marine fi sh have been contaminated. This chapter gives an
overview of our research.
