| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In May and June 2015, and June 2016, we conducted quantitative quadrat surveys of sessile invertebrates at seven intertidal sites in Ibaraki, Fukushima, and Miyagi Prefectures, including the sites near the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant (FDNPP), to check whether species richness, population densities, and biomass had recovered from declines after the 2011 Tohoku earthquake, tsunami, and nuclear disaster. Additionally, in April, July, August and September from 2015 to 2017, we monitored the population density and spawning behavior of rock shells (Thais clavigera) in the field near the FDNPP. Increases in species richness and population densities in the intertidal zones near the FDNPP were not found until at least 4-5 years had passed after the 2011 disaster. Densities of and reproductive performance by T. clavigera populations near the FDNPP in 2017 remained below levels before the accident.
