In reply to the discussion: Shock as sardines vanish off California - the entire Pacific coast - NOAA: We don’t know why [View all]RobertEarl

Back in the 60's, after a bunch of nuclear weapons tests in and over the Pacific, it has been claimed by some on this thread that sardine pop crashed. That makes sense.
For real data, see this link which is a study of Cesium (Cs) levels in the Pacific. Nuke lovers and Fukushima deniers may not want to click the link. For those so disinclined, you can take my word for it that since the 60's Cs levels have been on a downward slope and the prediction is now that Cs levels are on the increase. And will be increasing for a number of years due to Fukushima releases.
