Subscription Only: High level of radioactive cesium detected in Fukushima freshwater fish
Kyodo News
22:17 2 July
The Environment Ministry said Monday it detected 61 to 2,600 becquerels per kilogram of radioactive cesium in 23 varieties of freshwater fish sampled at five rivers and lakes in Fukushima Prefecture between December and February.
After the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant crisis, the government reduced the level of radioactive cesium deemed safe for consumption to a maximum of 100 Bq/kg for fish, meat and other food items.
A kind of goby taken from the Mano River in Minamisoma, located north of the crippled nuclear plant, showed 2,600 Bq/kg, according to the ministry.

I can look into my crystal ball and see an increase in the legal limit for contaminated fish.

Flapdoodle,
Here is good example of how the Japanese have tried to deceive there own people with changed food safety levels.
"Becquerels" and Japan's changing "safety" standards for radiation in food and water

DIY Food testing lab set up free guide, first draft, is now available for
download. If you find a section you don't understand let me know. This means someone else probably won't. It is a work in progress, but should be enough to get those started who want to set set up a cost effective food testing lab for their home, or community. The next planed update to this guide will be an isotope Kev identification table.

If you have any suggestions or additions to improve either guide, please
post suggestion into this enenews forum.

Absurd stupidity of the masses is Japan’s national strategy now.
Great find, the TV CM i great find, arclight. We almost fell off our hairs with sad laugh.
Japan was once a nation of high education and technology. With the government itself promoting stupidity among its citizens, China and South Korea will have easier times surpassing Japan in all industrial strength. This is an excellent example how a country can destroy itself without a sound vision, even if it had economic, political, and technological power.

There’re tons of JP govt ads that promote eating Fukushima area produce as a way to support the disaster victims and help economic recovery, etc. They are played out on people’s guilt when they don’t cooperate.
My sister in Western Japan says all her friends laugh at them, saying “ahorasii” (ridiculous), even though they are too Japanese-polite to show such emotional display in the public. The government politicians and TEPCO executives should do all of the eating, they say.

there is a useful graph and info on how the cesium contamination is likely to move and settle here..
Radioactivity in the Baltic Sea
"..Finland has been a pioneer in monitoring radioactivity in the Baltic Sea. Research into radioactivity began towards the end of the 1950s. There was an impetus to start research due to atmospheric nuclear weapons testing being carried out at Novaya Zemlya in the 1950s and 1960s. Over the years, the monitoring of radioactivity has expanded in all the Baltic States. Fallout from the nuclear weapons testing spread evenly across the whole of the Baltic Sea drainage area. The fallout consisted mainly of cesium-137 and strontium-90…."

it might be worth noting that testing SINCE febuary has not been done by CRIIRAD, ACRO or any independent testers…. just saying???
the reason? the spring brought the contamination levels up, more than likely.. it would be the same reason the uk stopped their monitoring of scottish/welsh lamb (currently of the menu for old arcy boy!)
wonder what the readings would be now?? and where did they catch these freshwater fish??
cant find any reference to this study.. maybe a japanese speaker could try to find the raw data??
viva la vegetarians!!
seemto be heading in that direction myself!

If you live in the US, I wouldn't feel very secure about vegetables you're thinking of consuming. I suspect the San Joaquin Valley has been sufficiently contaminated as well as other crop growing areas on the west coast, from Canada through to Mexico.

It's that simple – they have tested offshore octopus and found it to be radiation free.
Trouble is – can you believe that bull shit?

LETS SEE a deck of cards each one a radioactive element lets shuffle them,and then we can juggle the numbers too and make it all go away. I see that in the cards. More lies and switches coming
soon to make radiation NON HARMFUL by selling souls for MONEY and ELEC .

I think you've got that right. It's like Three Card Monte. The con artists control the deck.

It has been known since 1928 that X-rays produce mutations in DNA.
It has been known since the 1930s that ingested alpha emitters poison victims.
It has been known since the 1940s that there is NO SAFE LEVEL OF EXPOSURE WHEN GENETIC MUTATIONS ARE CONSIDERED.
The idea of permissible dose developed in 1947 was based on observation of somatic changes, like change in skin color after contamination, rather than being based on genetic changes.
It is now known that genetic changes can be delayed and that genes not directly hit by ionizing radiation can be impacted.
There is no safe level of exposure to ionizing radiation when genetic changes are considered.
Transversal of a single alpha particle can break DNA bonds.

Photo's of irradiated cells. Strange things happen. Broken and misshapen chromosomes. Some cells cannot reproduce.
@2:12 in "But lighter doses may cause changes that can't be seen in the chromosomes apparently by producing changes in the genes themselves, thus the descendents…"
@2:33 Girl asks question, "But Dr. Baxter, are all the affects of radiation bad?"
Dr. Baxter states, "Most of them are, therefore we must be very careful when we use radiation."
