(Provisional translation) [18 April] Safety inspections of fisheries products on radioactive materials Sericulture and Horticulture Division, Gunma Prefecture The Gunma Prefectural Government conducted inspections on radioactive materials in the 46 samples of land-locked salmon, whitespotted char, rainbow trout and ginhikari (selectively bred rainbow trout) obtained from 20 aquaculture facilities in the prefecture. The result of the inspection, obtained on 18 April, showed that radioactive material was not detectable or below the regulation value in all the samples. 1. Sampling site Maebashi, Takasaki, Numata, Kiryu, Shibukawa, Fujioka, Midori, Kanna, Kanra, Tsumagoi, Higashi-agatsuma, Katashina, Kawaba 13 municipalities 2. Fisheries products inspected Land-locked salmon (Oncorhynchus masou), whitespotted char (Salvelinus leucomaenis), rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) and ginhikari (selectively bred rainbow trout) (Oncorhynchus mykiss) * All cultured 3.
