In August last year, Japan was outraged by the way it disposed of its nuclear-contaminated water, which was forcibly discharged into the sea, despite opposition from other countries.
You must know that the mainland is not far from Japan, only separated by the East China Sea, if you speculate that the nuclear-contaminated water will reach the coast of China in about 240 days, and the entire North Pacific Ocean will be polluted after 1,200 days, which is very scary.
Eight months have passed, and the nuclear-contaminated water is likely to affect coastal cities around the mainland, so which fish should be listed as "untouchable" in this potential ecological crisis?
Japan discharges nuclear-contaminated water
I believe that many people have more or less understood that nuclear-contaminated water is not an ordinary sewage, and it contains many radioactive substances that are harmful to the human body.
If this water is discharged into the ocean without proper treatment, the radioactive material in its body will flow through the ocean and affect marine life, and it is likely that human consumption will also cause problems for the body.
So why does Japan ignore the opposition of the people of other countries and insist on discharging nuclear-contaminated water?
As early as March 2011, Japan's Fukushima nuclear power plant had a serious nuclear accident due to the impact of the earthquake and tsunami, during which part of the radioactive materials had been leaked outside.
For Japanese authorities, the decontamination of the Fukushima nuclear power plant requires huge space and money, and they can only place the waste nuclear-contaminated water in water storage tanks.
However, as time goes by, the nuclear-contaminated water continues to be produced, and there is no way to build a water storage tank in the Fukushima nuclear power plant, so what should be done with the excess nuclear-contaminated water?
So the Japanese government came up with the bad idea of treating the nuclear-contaminated water and discharging it into the sea, so as to reduce the economic burden on the country.
Many people in many countries expressed strong opposition when they learned about it, and even many Japanese people joined in calling on the Japanese government to seek some safer alternatives.
In the face of various doubts from the outside world, the Japanese side insisted that the environmental impact of the discharged nuclear-contaminated water was controllable on the basis of its research data, and even claimed that it was stricter than the world's nuclear safety standards.
Still, this argument is not convincing, given the concern that a Japanese official in 2011 drank treated nuclear-contaminated water and then disappeared from everyone's eyes.
After Japan discharged the nuclear-contaminated water into the sea last year, the mainland immediately adopted restrictive measures and restrictive measures against Japanese aquatic products.
But now, eight months have passed since the discharge of nuclear-contaminated water into the sea, and many people have begun to feel restless in their hearts, and the mainland government will certainly do its best to protect the health of the people in China.
Saury
"The taste of saury, the cat and you want to know~"
Whenever I mention this fish, I always think of the lyrics of Chou Dong, which is a common fish in Japan, mainly distributed in the Pacific Ocean close to Japan.
However, saury is also a highly migratory fish that often wanders around Japanese waters and is more susceptible to marine pollution, making saury a "high-risk group" for the spread of nuclear-contaminated water in the minds of many diners.
These fish tend to move on the surface of the ocean at night, and it is this habit that makes them vulnerable to radioactive materials in the upper waters.
It is possible that the radioactive substances in some saury have accumulated to a relatively high level, and if people accidentally eat it, it may pose a threat to their health, so it is best not to touch this fish.
grouper
Speaking of the peculiar-looking grouper, a species of grouper appeared in the Fukushima area three years ago before Japan discharged nuclear-contaminated water.
After the identification of relevant research institutions, it was found that the grouper contained radioactive elements, although it is not enough to be fatal, but it should have an impact on the human body.
After the discharge of nuclear-contaminated water into the sea, South Korea, the closest country to Japan, did not implement a policy of banning the export of aquatic products, and many anomalies occurred in the country, one of which was related to grouper.
At that time, many Koreans were reluctant to buy Japanese seafood, and even if the price was cut in half, no one wanted it, which hindered the sales of grouper in Korea.
A large number of groupers were piled up in the farm, coupled with the influence of factors such as hot temperatures, which led to the death of many groupers, and eventually caused a financial loss of more than 80 million yuan.
salmon
On the eve of the Spring Festival this year, salmon has attracted the attention of consumers in the seafood market in some coastal areas of the mainland, and its sales have skyrocketed.
But what many people don't know is that as early as 2016, a species of salmon was found off the west coast of Canada, which was detected by professional institutions to contain radioactive elements, and local experts said that it originated from the nuclear contamination of Fukushima in Japan.
As a migratory fish, salmon has a wide range of geographical areas in its life cycle, from the cold waters of the North Pacific Ocean to the open sea.
It is important to know that the Pacific Ocean is the hardest hit area of Japan's nuclear-contaminated water, and the amount of radioactive substances in the salmon living in this water area may be under international safety standards, let alone accumulate over a long period of time.
Nuclear contaminant elements such as cesium do not decompose easily in water bodies, and they can accumulate through the food chain and eventually reach higher concentrations in the apex predators.
Although most of the salmon currently on the market has not been affected by the contaminated water, prevention is better than cure, and reducing intake may be a wise choice.
eel
In the minds of many Japanese, the eel's status seems unshakable, and they even refer to it as "ginseng in the water".
However, there is a fatal flaw in the eel itself, that is, it is not easy to preserve, and it is said that the taste of fresh eel is the most delicious when it is first caught, and the Japanese also like to mix it into turkey noodles to enjoy the unique taste.
There are also many people on the mainland who like to eat eels, but it is important to understand that most eels live in Japanese waters, and the nuclear-contaminated water is quite serious, so it is best not to touch this fish.
In addition to the fish mentioned above, there are many aquatic products that cannot be eaten, such as flounder, shellfish and other foods, some of which have been detected with radioactive materials in the body, which is still quite dangerous.
For the sake of your own life and health, everyone should pay attention to this matter, and it is best not to eat seafood indiscriminately.
