Fishermen in Fukushima Prefecture have expanded their test catches to 10 types of marine products

[...]

Commercial fishing restarted on an experimental basis off Fukushima Prefecture in June. Catches were limited to one type of shellfish and 2 kinds of octopuses.

The prefectural fisheries association says consumers purchased the marine products caught in the area and trust the radiation tests that were carried out.

So it decided to expand the catches to 10 types of marine products, including one type of crab and one type of squid starting on Monday.

The association says it has found no unsafe levels of radiation in any of the 10 types of seafood.

The fresh catch will be shipped to local shops later in the day after being tested for radiation.
