This is what we are talking about - these Tuna are also being caught in our waters:
"He was like, 'You're not going to believe it, but here it is,'" Madigan said.
The tuna had tested positive for cesium-134 and cesium-37, both known waste products from Fukushima. For Madigan, it was "a real discovery moment, like in the movies," he said.
A second fish also tested positive for the isotopes. So did a third. And a fourth."
"In May, Fisher and Stony Brook postdoctoral researcher Zofia Baumann published a paper in the journal Proceedings of the National Academies of Sciences detailing their findings. The team believed it was the first time that anyone had demonstrated that migratory animals could transport radioactive contaminants across the Pacific."
interesting as its printed as more of a human interest story than a heads up - spin? Did earn the guy a doctorate - so it aint funny science....( we hope- grin )
