The nuclear test at Bikini Atoll on March 1, 1954, made an accidental fall of the radioactive dust, so-called •gBikini Ashes•h, on a Japanese fishing boat, •g Fukuryu Maru•h No. 5 (99.9 tons). Her crew of 23 afflicted from radiation sickness, which was diagnosed after the boat returned to her home port, Yaizu, on March 14. 1954. Aside from the radiation hazards of fishermen, another unexpected problem developed when tunas caught by •gFukuryu Maru•h were put on the central market of Tokyo Metropolis on March 17, 1954 after they were landed at Yaizu Harbour. Detecting strong radioactivity in these fishes, health authorities of the Government decided to make radiological survey for all fishes caught in the South Pacific. On March 18, the Ministry of Health and Welfare and the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry requested the Japanese fishing boats which were on the water near Bikini Atoll at the time of the explosion to give an account of the scheduled date of returning to port. Simultaneously, the Government designated five ports to which they should return. The radiological survey by the government sanitary officials at the designated ports was commenced early in the morning on March 19 in cooperation with the health authorities of Metropolis and each Prefecture. The radiological survey by the government inspectors at the five designated ports was, at the later date, transferred to the Metropolis and each Prefecture. But later on, such other prefectures as Osaka, Hyogo, Wakayama, Kochi, Tokushima, Nagasaki and Kagoshima voluntarily initiated similar inspection on the fishes landed at the ports in their respective jurisdiction, because radioactivity was frequently detected from the tunas and other fishes caught in the sea nearer to Japan since the middle of May. The survey was continued till the discontinuation was ordered by the Government at the end of the year 1954. The author intends to summarize the data on the radiological survey at various ports in Japan as collected by the authorities of Ministry of Health and Welfare in order to obtain information as to the distribution and migration of contaminated fishes and as to the effect of the experimental hydrogen bomb detonation upon the fisheries of Japan.
