A few years ago, the Japanese city of Fukushima suffered one of the worst nuclear disasters in history. The radiation to which many species have been exposed since then shows its destructive power.
A Japanese fisherman found a terrifying fish near the Fukushima plant. A creepy photo of a fisherman with the creature in his hands has revived speculation about the consequences that the Fukushima nuclear accident has had on marine fauna, and that is that many of the species captured in the area exceed the legal radiation limit by 2,500 times, bringing back awareness of the risks of nuclear leaks. Some suggest that the radioactive leak that occurred in Fukushima in 2011 is the cause of genetic modifications in animals.
The Japanese fisherman Hirasaka Hiroshi, famous on the networks for the photographs of his strange catches that he later ingests, has posted his latest milestone on his profile on the social network. It’s about a wolffish caught off the coast of Hokkaido Island, in Japan. The animal measures almost two meters and weighs approximately 15 kilos, it is believed to be a wolffish. These aquatic vertebrates commonly live in the Pacific and Atlantic oceans, feeding on smaller species, and usually has an average size of 1.2 meters in length and are recognized for their large size and fearsome appearance.
According to Wikipedia, the wolffish (Anarchychas lupus) belongs to the Anarichádidae family. It reaches a meter and a half in length, cylindrical body in its front part and flattened in the caudal part. Smooth and slippery skin, with the scales almost hidden in the skin. The dorsal fin extends almost the entire back in a similar way to the anal fin, its teeth are very well developed and distinguishes them from other members of the family: they are conical in the front part of the jaw, in the form of molars in the sides; It is common in the shallow waters of the coasts, it is a born predator. The taste of its meat is causing an increase in interest in the consumption of this fish in recent years.
According to the first information, the fish would have been caught in Fukushima, an aspect denied by the fisherman. This misinformation has created a lot of controversy, as many began to talk about the terrible and terrifying mutant fish. However, the fisherman himself clarified hours later that the fish had not been caught in Fukushima waters, and that its extraordinary size is also common in the area where it was caught.
The impressive wolffish has huge jaws and looks more like a creature out of a science fiction movie; Unfortunately, many opinions have also been heard against the fisherman who is accused of mounting an image to frighten.
