The Japanese fisherman are tremendously worried that radiation from seaside nuclear power plants will affect the tuna, the oysters, the sharks, the squids, and the seaweed which they sell to restaurants, fish markets, supermarkets, and export all over the world. The worry started when Japanese officials found levels of radiation higher than normal in the seawater around the nuclear plants and complexes. The fisherman of Japan believe that the radiation will affect the smallest fish first. Then with the food chain, when the larger fish eat the smaller fish, the larger fish will also be contaminated with radioactive isotopes.
