The Globe and Mail, Aug 13, 2013 (Emphasis Added): Independent fisheries scientist Alexandra Morton is raising concerns about a disease she says is spreading through Pacific herring causing fish to hemorrhage. [...] Two days ago I did a beach seine on Malcolm Island [near Port McNeill on northern Vancouver Island] and I got approximately 100 of these little herring and they were not only bleeding from their fins, but their bellies, their chins, their eyeballs. [...] It was 100 per cent
I couldnt find any that werent bleeding to some degree. And they were schooling with young sockeye [salmon]

If fisheries stocks were contaminated with radiation from Fukishima would we ever hear about it from a government agency?

There are 15 bluefin tuna still left in the wild?
That's an amazing fact to me.

Standard eco-scare tactic reporting. Radiation doesn't cause fish to bleed. And the article gives NOT ONE SINGLE MEASURED DATUM as to what the actual radiation levels found in the fish were.
Words strung together with zero real meaning.

I dunno.
My moobs have almost disappeared.

Unfortunately there really hasn’t been much actual objective
research done on the issue of contamination in the Pacific and it’s effects on the food chain. We dumped enormous
amounts of radioactive material into the Pacific during
weapons testing a half century ago and what little research
has been done supports the contention that the Pacific has
done an excellent job at diluting and dispersing these isotopes so that the overall effect has been minimal.
This is an area where what little “research” that is being done is being done and offered up by agenda driven pseudo scientists.
ANY article that does not mention specific isotopes in specific amounts measured in either Curies or Bequerels
per unit of measure is not research, not science and not
even decent journalism.
A proper report on the subject would describe in great detail the methodology of the project before ANY discussion of possible outcomes or issues.
