Default Fish Fertilizer and saving fish stock

Strange thought entered my mind concerning the tragedy in Japan. With
the higher levers do radiation entering the ocean. With this make the
fish unsuitable for harvesting and will this enable the fish populations
to have a long respite ?
Anyone know about the ramifications ?


The way they fish now, there is a lot of collateral damage. It's the
collateral damage that ends up in fish emulsion. I'd buy organic.

As for the marketable fish, as is already the case, predator fish
concentrate the most toxins, be it PCBs, polybrominated diphenyl ethers,
or strontium-90.

In my conspiratorial outlook, I doubt the government would tell us
anything, if it was low level chronic exposure. If it was acute
poisoning, and instantly caused you to drop stone dean, they would
probably put out a PSA advising prudence and cautioning against
excessive consumption.

Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. This is not a way of life at all in any true sense. Under the clouds of war, it is humanity hanging on a cross of iron.
- Dwight D. Eisenhower, 16 April 1953
