Salmon Fishing Returns To Fukushima
Traditional salmon "combination net fishing" returned to the Kidogawa river for the first time in five years as fishermen hauled in about 120 of the cold-water fish October 18,2015 in Naraha, Fukushima, Japan.
With the evacuation order for Naraha lifted in September, members of the local fisheries cooperative association gathered around 11:30 a.m. on Oct. 18 to drive salmon from the upper reaches of the Kidogawa with a net toward another one set up downstream.
It was the first time the fishing operations took place since the nuclear disaster at the nearby Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant, which was caused by the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake and tsunami.
