South Korea banning all fish imports from Japan's Fukushima region because of whats it calls growing public worry over radiations contamination that has reportedly prompted a sharp decline in fish consumption. The Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries said in a statement Friday that it made the move because of insufficient information from Tokyo about what will happen in the future with contaminated water leaking from a crippled nuclear plant into the Pacific. Seoul imposed a partial ban on Japanese fish following the March, 2011 earthquake and tsunami that led to a meltdown at the Fukushima plant.
