Chicken of the Sea, also known as tuna, is bringing radioactive fallout to the shores of Califonia. Scientist are “kind of startled” that a blue fin, that traveled 6,000 miles would still have high levels of radiation. Plankton and smaller fish were discovered with raised levels of radiation from the waters off Japan after the nuclear reactor at Fukushima was damaged in the magnitude-9 earthquake, but to find elevated levels off the US coast in a large fish is disconcerting.
One of the largest and speediest fish, Pacific bluefin tuna can grow to 10 feet and weigh more than 1,000 pounds. They spawn off the Japan coast and swim east at breakneck speed to school in waters off California and the tip of Baja California, Mexico.
Five months after the Fukushima disaster, Fisher of Stony Brook University in New York and a team decided to test Pacific bluefin that were caught off the coast of San Diego. To their surprise, tissue samples from all 15 tuna captured contained levels of two radioactive substances — ceisum-134 and cesium-137 — that were higher than in previous catches.
To rule out the possibility that the radiation was carried by ocean currents or deposited in the sea through the atmosphere, the team also analyzed yellowfin tuna, found in the eastern Pacific, and bluefin that migrated to Southern California before the nuclear crisis. They found no trace of cesium-134 and only background levels of cesium-137 left over from nuclear weapons testing in the 1960s.
If scientists are baffled by the travaling radioactive tuna, shouldn’t we also be concerned?

RIGHT ON SIR….
lmfao….okkk
This is just the beginning. This isn’t radioactive coolant water being pumped into the ocean, it is high grade U-235 and U-238 from.the reactor vessel that melted. The radioactive half-life of U-235 is 704 million years. The half-of U-238 is 4.5 billion years.
In addition to the Pacific ocean being poisoned, one look at the global convection current will show you that all oceans recirculate the same water. It’s no surprise that we are seeing sea creatures that live in the deepest waters and that are never seen being caught in nets by fisherman.
Japan just basically killed the world and your government is not telling you.
There is only one ocean. The water from all oceans is circulated via the global oceanic convection current, or thermohaline. It is only a matter or time before every ocean is poisoned.

I don’t dispute that
