Hong Kong will ban seafood imports from 10 Japanese prefectures if Tokyo goes ahead with a plan to discharge treated radioactive water from the crippled Fukushima plant into the sea, the city’s environment and ecology department said.

A ban will include imports of all live, frozen, refrigerated, dried or otherwise preserved aquatic products, sea salt, and unprocessed or processed seaweed, it said.

The measures come a day after Hong Kong leader John Lee said that the city would ban sea products from a “large number” of Japanese prefectures if Tokyo went ahead with the waste water discharge.
