The discharge of nuclear sewage into the sea has led to changes in the oyster farming industry, and investor disagreements have surged
A major change in oyster farming.
Due to the leakage of nuclear sewage in Japan, which has caused fear all over the world, the safety of seafood has been widely emphasized. Among the many marine animals, the oyster, known as the "seawater filter", has attracted attention because it can absorb and filter out most of the water every day. However, if Japan's nuclear sewage flows into Japan and is ingested by our oysters, it will cause radiation contamination and threaten the health of people's diets. Oyster farmers have also encountered unprecedented difficulties and challenges.
From an oyster's point of view, though, it's a very serious matter. Oysters rely on absorbing toxic components from sand, sand and the ocean and turning them into nutrients they need. When contaminated seawater flows into the oyster-growing area, the oyster is inhaled and becomes a "nuclear oyster". This would not only be a disaster for the oysters themselves, but also endanger the health of seafood consumers. Therefore, today's seafood consumers generally have a more negative view of oysters, whether they are imported or imported, they are very hesitant. Oyster farmers in the Rushan area of Weihai, Shandong Province have been greatly impacted. Many buyers have unsubscribed due to negative sentiment, causing many farmers to abandon production in order to reduce losses. Japan's move not only has a huge impact on the entire fishery production, but also has caused huge economic losses to farmers. Some farmers also plan to sell the oysters that have just been put on the market to avoid losses.
However, among those farmers who have given up breeding, there are also several "retrogrades". In the Rushan area, for example, Yu Dong, a fisherman, plans to throw oyster seedlings again to observe the harvest. This is called "** big gamble", in his opinion, once other farmers stop working, then there will be a huge gap in the whole market, as long as he can continue to breed oysters, then he can have a bumper harvest. However, there is a certain danger in doing so, and if all the oysters are infected, it will be useless.
The direction and time of diffusion of nuclear wastewater.
Whether or not Japan's effluent reaches our waters is a matter of the oceanic cycle. According to the researchers' model, Japan's nuclear wastewater is gradually approaching the center of the Pacific Ocean due to the influence of the Japanese Ocean Current and the Kuril Cycle. The Pacific Current then carries radioactive material to the western coast of the United States. So, the United States was the first to be infected. After that, the sewage spreads to the east and south. Some of this contaminated water flows to Southeast Asia via a tropical current before flowing into the Indian Ocean. Other ships moved along the Atlantic Ocean towards Europe and eventually into the Atlantic. In the end, it was our country that suffered from nuclear contamination. Judging by the characteristics of the movement of the currents, it takes about 240 days to reach our shores.
On the safety of Chinese oysters.
Although the nuclear contamination incident in Japan has caused a global disaster that has affected aquaculture in many countries, we do not need to worry too much about the safety of oysters. According to the study, our sea water will be polluted until April and May next year, when it will not cause harm to seafood such as oysters. Therefore, oysters in the domestic market are still relatively safe and not as scary as some blogs describe. In addition, from the perspective of fishing, screening, purification and other links of oysters, the development of the domestic oyster industry has always been the first priority to ensure the quality and safety of oysters. First of all, the oyster farm will select the best place without any pollution sources to ensure that the sea water is clean. Secondly, the company conducts periodic checks on the water quality to determine if it contains anything harmful. In addition, oyster keepers also monitor the growth of oysters throughout the process to ensure that the environment in which oysters grow is clean and ecologically balanced.
In addition, the relevant authorities also supervise and inspect the oyster industry to ensure the quality and safety of the oysters. If there is a food safety problem, the relevant authorities will take measures such as stopping production, stopping production, tracking the whereabouts of goods, and strengthening supervision and management in a timely manner.
In short, despite the serious nuclear radiation contamination, in order to protect people's health, our country's oyster farming industry has done a lot of work to protect everyone's health. In this process, it is necessary to increase the monitoring and risk assessment of nuclear sewage discharge, grasp its diffusion law, and formulate targeted protection measures. When buying oysters, you should also look for oysters with legal, well-known brands to ensure your health.
