Recently, a large-scale fish death incident occurred in Japan, which has aroused widespread concern in the society. Many people are concerned about whether this is related to the nuclear wastewater discharged from the Fukushima nuclear power plant. However, researcher Huang Honghui, a Chinese aquatic expert, said that the fish death had little to do with the nuclear wastewater, and was more likely to be caused by natural disasters or other factors.
On the morning of December 18, Jiupai News contacted Huang Honghui, a researcher at the South China Sea Fisheries Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Fishery Sciences and director of the Fishery Environment Research Office, said in an interview that although he did not know the specific circumstances of the incident and could not make a specific judgment on the situation, the large number of dead fish was generally not related to ** or nuclear sewage, and it was impossible to be chased by big fish and washed ashore.
Researcher Huang Honghui explained that it is impossible for nuclear sewage to be so toxic that it will poison all these fish at once. The effects of nuclear-contaminated wastewater are a slow process that does not lead to the death of a large number of fish in a short period of time. In addition, the scope and extent of the radioactive material in the nuclear wastewater discharged from the Fukushima nuclear power plant will be greatly reduced due to the diffusion and dilution of the nuclear waste water in the ocean.
In fact, such large-scale fish deaths are not uncommon globally, and the causes may include a variety of factors, including natural disasters, climate change, and human activities. For example, in 2013, there was a large-scale fish death incident in the South China Sea, which was found to be related to the abnormal water temperature and bottom dissolved oxygen content at that time.
Researcher Huang Honghui reminded that when analyzing such incidents, we should remain rational and not panic excessively. In response to the fish death incident in Japan, the relevant departments should carry out an investigation as soon as possible to find out the specific cause of the fish death, and take corresponding measures to prevent the recurrence of similar incidents.
In short, the fish death in Japan has little to do with the nuclear wastewater, and is more likely to be caused by natural disasters or other factors. In the analysis and response to similar incidents, we should follow scientific principles, maintain a rational attitude, and do not panic blindly. At the same time, all countries should continue to strengthen nuclear safety supervision, effectively ensure the safety of nuclear sewage treatment and discharge, and jointly safeguard the global marine ecological environment.
