Japan halts shipment of black rockfish caught off Fukushima over radiation

TOKYO, Feb 8 — Japan’s health ministry said today it had ordered the suspension of shipments of black rockfish caught off Fukushima prefecture after radiation exceeding an upper limit was detected in a catch late last month.

The development comes on the heels of an announcement by Taiwan that it would relax a ban on food imports from Japan put in place after the 2011 Fukushima nuclear disaster.
