Why I eat shrimp from the Gulf of Mexico: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features ... your-table

Also avoid shrimp from Ecuador and Malaysia as these are usually Chinese shrimp per the article.

I read about the shrimp ponds a long time ago. ICK! I am eating only wild-caught shrimp (and love it).

Seaborne cesium 134, the so-called “fingerprint of Fukushima,” has been detected on US shores for the first time researchers from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) said this month. WHOI is a crowd-funded science seawater sampling project, that has been monitoring the radioactive plume making its way across the Pacific to America’s west coast, from the demolished Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant in eastern Japan.

The seawater samples were taken from the shores of Tillamook Bay and Gold Beach, and were actually obtained in January and February of 2016 and tested later in the year. In other strikingly similar news reported last month, researchers at the Fukushima InFORM project in Canada, led by University of Victoria chemical oceanographer Jay Cullen, said they found a sockeye salmon, sampled from Okanagan Lake in British Columbia, that tested positive for cesium 134 as well. - http://www.environews.tv/121216-seaborn ... gon-coast/

Thanks, Gabes. I recently purchased sockeye salmon at Costco. Off to the freezer I go to see where it originates.
