Fukushima fisheries to resume trial fishing

SOMA, Japan - Photo shows Matsukawaura fishing port in Soma, Fukushima Prefecture, on Sept. 24, 2013. The Fukushima Prefectural Federation of Fisheries Cooperative Associations said the same day fishing off the Fukushima coast is set to resume on a trial basis Sept. 25, about a month after leaks of contaminated water into the sea at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant forced trial operations to be put on hold. According to the federation, out of 100 fish and seafood products tested, 95 were clear of radioactive substances and the remaining five contained less than one-10th of the government's limit of 100 becquerels for food products.
