As the Japanese government announced that it will officially start the work of discharging contaminated water from the Fukushima nuclear plant on the 24th, it is expected that the phenomenon of Japan's import of fishery products after the 2011 Fukushima nuclear accident may be repeated.

South Korea Customs Service (Customs) 23 data show that after the outbreak of the Fukushima nuclear accident in March 2011, South Korea's daily imports of fish and shellfish in 2011 (50,954 tons) and 2012 plummeted 37.7% and 36.3%. In September 2011, the South Korean government banned the import of all seafood products from eight prefectures around the Fukushima disaster. Affected by this, Nissan's fish and shellfish imports continued to decline until 2014, 2014 imports and imports decreased by 67.4% and 57% compared with 2010.

Since 2015, the daily import of fish and shellfish has increased or decreased, but the overall trend has maintained an increase. imports last year were up 22.3 per cent from 2014, when they bottomed out, at 32,588 tonnes. imports recovered to 82.1% of the 2010 level at $174.15 million.

once the Fukushima nuclear sewage discharge work officially started, it will trigger concerns about the safety of aquatic products, resulting in a decline in fish and shellfish imports. Customs data show that from January to March this year, the daily import volume and import value of fish and shellfish continued to increase, but after the Fukushima nuclear sewage discharge dispute surfaced, it fell in April.
