Oyster damaged by tsunami
Oyster farmers in Miyagi Prefecture, northeastern Japan, have begun retrieving aquaculture rafts damaged or carried away by a tsunami triggered by a powerful quake in Russia on Wednesday.Three oyster farming businesses were deploying a total of about 130 rafts to raise oysters in waters between the mainland coast and Kesennuma Oshima Island in Kesennuma City.  But the tsunami caused by the quake that hit Russia’s Kamchatka Peninsula damaged or swept away many of the rafts.The farmers set off on board fishing boats early on Friday to recover the rafts that had drifted offshore. Some of the rafts had piled up on top of each other. They had to cut off some tangled ropes holding oysters. They also brought the rafts closer to the coast so that they will not obstruct other vessels traveling in the area.mitv
