Japan's health ministry said on Tuesday it had ordered the suspension of shipments of black rockfish caught off Fukushima prefecture after radiation exceeding an upper limit was detected in a catch late last month.

The suspension means the targetted fish would not be shipped, regardless of the destination, a ministry official said.Reporting by Kiyoshi Takenaka; Editing by Andrew HeavensSubscribe to our daily curated newsletter to receive the latest exclusive Reuters coverage delivered to your inbox.
