Biological monitoring in Kanagawa (December 31, 2014)

Biological monitoring at Yokohama Omoshiro Aquarium

 I visited Yokohama Omoshiro Aquarium (Fun Aquarium) to see biological impacts of Fukushima No.1 nuclear power plant accident. Though I have visited various places in Japan to see the health consequences of the accident, I have never found any effect against creatures in Japan.
 With novelty fish tanks and exhibits with switches and buttons to play with, the Yokohama OMOSHIRO AQUARIUM is a fairground house-of-fun combined with an aquarium.  
 There are over five hundred different breeds of fish—five thousand fish in total—hidden in school lockers or miniature ancient temples, glowing in the dark or apparently swimming upside down. The twin Japanese obsessions of marine life and inane comedy are united at last. You can find the Yokohama OMOSHIRO AQUARIUM occupying a small space in the heart of Chinatown, which may explain where some of the nearby restaurants source their exotic fish dishes.
 Generally speaking, marine animal's growths are so fast than human beings that they are more sensitive to radioactive materials of the environment than us. 
 So I visited Omoshiro Aquarium to see effects of the accident against marine creatures which are grown up by Japanese food and water. 
 Fortunately, I can see them grown up safely and I cannot find any impact of the accident. It seems that there is no problem for childbirth and child-rearing in Kanagawa Japan.

神奈川県の横浜中華街の中にあった「吉本おもしろ水族館」がリニューアルされて「ヨコハマおもしろ水族館」に名称変更されていました。名前のとおりユニークな水族館で、クイズ形式で生物の生態を学習できるようになっており中華街の名所の一つです。

Japanese foods are good and safe.
Because of stricter food safety law by Japanese government, we have no worry about foods.

 About 4 years have passed since Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant accident. I have visited various places of Japan to see the health consequence of the accident.
 Fortunately I have never found any impacts by the accident among Japanese creatures. As far as I know, nobody has health problem which is caused by the accident in Japan.
 Our Prime Minister Abe assures that "The situation is under control and there will never be health problems." He also said that "Tokyo is 250 kilometers away from Fukushima, and the kind of danger that you imagine does not exist in Tokyo. Tokyo is a very safe city."
 Kanagawa prefecture is very far away from Fukushima as same as Tokyo and people in Kanagawa have no concern about the nuclear power plant accident. People in Kanagawa prefecture have already forgotten the accident, because it is very far away from Fukushima and radioactive materials cannot reach there.
 We know there is no problem for child birth and child rearing in Kanagawa. So people in Kanagawa are living without any concern about the accident.
 I continue to visit various places in Japan to see the effects of the accident, because I can meet various creatures which are more sensitive to radioactive materials from the environment. It is important to see their health for our safety.
