KODIAK – The Alaska Seafood Marketing Institute says it's taking steps to counter inflammatory stories on websites that claim Alaska-caught salmon is unsafe.
ASMI (AZ'-me) communications director Tyson Fick says the institute has seen a resurgence of unsubstantiated, scaremongering articles designed to generate advertising revenue by curious readers clicking on websites.
Fick tells the Kodiak Daily Mirror (http://bit.ly/1crItqr) that the latest wave of misinformation claims Alaska fish has been contaminated by radiation from a Japanese nuclear power plant damaged in a 2011 earthquake.
