Abstract

After the nuclear accidents in the Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) complex, the Government of Japan through the Fisheries Agency immediately carried out monitoring programs to measure the levels of radioactive substances contained in fish and fishery products obtained from the waters near the Fukushima NPP as well as the seawaters along the coastal areas of Japan. This was aimed at responding to the critical situation when reports indicated that radioactive substances have been detected in the seawaters near the Fukushima NPP. The radioactive substances must have originated from the discharge of contaminated water, atmospheric fallout, and precipitation washed out into the sea.
