In reply to the discussion: Shock as sardines vanish off California - the entire Pacific coast - NOAA: We don’t know why [View all]jeff47
(26,549 posts)39. Hey Robert! Looks like your time-traveling radiation took out another fishery
Amazing that Fukishima took out this very same fishery in the 1960s, isn't it?
They quit fishing off the coast of Japan
Nope. They quit fishing off the coast right next to Fukushima. They haven't stopped fishing elsewhere.
What I'd like to see is some real data about the sea life off the coast of Japan. Have you any such data, or are you just imagining that the sea life there is doing fine?
Google still works if you want to find out.
There's also the fact that Japan gets an extremely large portion of its food from fishing, yet their media isn't screaming "there's no food!!!"
There's also the fact that people such as yourself are desperately seeking to connect anything they can find to Fukushima, and would be screaming about any data showing fishery collapse off Japan.
Finally, there's the matter of the Alaskan fisheries. They should have a higher radiation level than ones off the West coast, and thus suffer more harm. They aren't.
