Researchers have discovered low levels of radioactive cesium from Japan’s Fukushima Daiichi nuclear accident in bluefin tuna caught off the coast of California near San Diego, according to a study cited by CNN.
Samples of tissue were taken from 15 bluefin fish caught off the coast in August, five months after the nuclear disaster at Fukushima Daiichi, according to a report by CNN.

Despite the fact that researchers told CNN the levels were well below what scientists have deemed dangerous for human consumption, the findings have raised concerns among many.
