The concern is that contaminants will travel up the food chain reaching greater concentration in higher animals. The pollutants may spread to bluefin tuna and minke whales.

Get over it, cesium goes out in your poop and pee pee.. And little bit left over will pass too Many bombs were tested in America that released more Cesium that what has been released here... The properties of cesium are such that even If you wanted to I doubt you could go out and collect a 1g sample of it... It dissolves in water, it doesn't get taken up by root systems it passes through ours mostly.. You didn't know shit from day one bucko.. Exce

Hate to spoil the party, but most large marine animals, particularly whales, already brim with heavy metals and other nasty things. Best to stick with the small fish. Also, when purchasing bottom fish such as hirame, pay particular attention to its origin: while schooling fish like iwashi migrate widely and thus are unlikely to acquire concentrated doses, bottom fish will do so if they are from an affected area.
