  5. Highest Yet: Fish 20 times more radioactive than any other caught since 3/11 — 380 times limit for cesium -NHK August 21, 2012

NHK WORLD, Feb. 18, 2013: High levels of cesium detected in fish off Chiba [...] Choshi is nearly 200 kilometers south of the crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant. Chiba Prefecture says it found 130 becquerels of cesium per kilogram in Japanese sea bass caught about 10 kilometers off Choshi on Thursday of last week. The acceptable limit is 100 becquerels.
