I read a few years ago that up to 1/3 of the fish caught in Alaska were showing radiation burns. This is a far bigger problem than what is being reported.

I agree.
How long do you think a fish is gonna live with radiation burns? I heard that a single coho salmon has been found with an elevated level of radiation.
I guess eat the wild caught salmon while you still can. Sad.
Absolutely no way that is true.
The ocean levels aren't intense enough to cause burns. What is happening in the ocean is bio-accumulation. Various nuclear daughter products resemble other elements in the body. Cesium accumulates where potassium goes...concentrates in soft and muscle tissues. Plutonium resembles calcium and accumulates in the bones and teeth. Iodine concentrates in the thyroid. When the accumulated radioactive material decays inside a cell, it can directly damage DNA triggering a cancer process. The sea life are exhibiting tumors. Damage to bone marrow brings on bleeding disorders and leukemia. Thyroid cancer is very common in my area (Pocatello). We had a big spike of I-131 within days after the initial event in Fukushima. I was living in San Diego at the time. We were hit with a metallic taste in the mouth and nose from Sulfur-35 in the air. It was generated by pouring sea water on the nuclear reactor to cool it. The Chlorine was converted to Sulfur-35 and went airborne from the heat.
I can't prove causality, but my elderly mother developed a heart problem 3 weeks after the crap blew over San Diego. She died in Nov 2011. Congestive heart failure and lung cancer. She had lived comfortably at her El Cajon home through March 2011. After multiple hospitalizations, the required assisted living support.

Factually untrue.
The source of where you read it was posting hysterical nonsense.
