Nowhere does the paper or the press release mention radiation or Fukushima. Nilch, negatory, nadda, never.
But this is not good enough for staff writer Ethan Hunt and others outlets that continue to recycle this story.
Though the researchers involved with the work have been reluctant to pin Fukushima as a potential cause National Geographic, which covered the study recently, did not even mention Fukushima the timing of the discovery suggests that Fukushima is, perhaps, the cause.
.....
I will also note the Fukushima disaster occurred in March 2011, five years after the researches begin to see changes in surface production. To reiterate the statements points, there is evidence of more life recently in California waters. The supposed die off is a common feature of any bloom of short-lived invertebrates. The die off was experienced at one location and with one species. The entire Pacific seafloor is not littered with dying organisms. I would also point out that these massive food falls of marine invertebrates are a common occurrence. For example, in 2002 a massive deposition of jellyfish was seen in the deep Arabian Sea.
Deep Sea News is always an interesting read.

(58,162 posts)radioactive fish are only located in the waters surrounding the islands where a test occurred.
there is no traceable amount of radiation in the pacific ocean from these tests. the scientific theory is over time the salt and the amount of water diluted (?) radioactive particles .
