Inspection Results for Fishery Products (Marine Fish Species Caught off the Coast of Fukushima Prefecture and Freshwater Fish Species Caught in Fukushima Prefecture)
The percentage of samples exceeding the standard limit (100 Bq/kg) was 57% for marine fish and 45% for freshwater fish during the period from April to June 2011, but the percentage decreased by half in one year after the accident. Since April 2012, inspections have been focused on the fish species in which radioactive cesium concentrations exceeding 50 Bq/kg had been detected, and the percentage of samples with radioactive cesium concentrations exceeding the standard limit is continuing to decrease. There have been no such marine fish samples since FY2015, but some freshwater fish samples still show radioactive cesium concentrations exceeding the standard limit.
