Deep-sea gigantism really exists.
In zoology, abyssal gigantism represents the tendency for species of invertebrates and other deep-sea dwelling animals to be larger than their shallower-water relatives. And I bet Fukushima is now helping creating monster-like creatures even more impressive than those shown below:
A Japanese spider crab whose outstretched legs measured 12 ft (3.7 m) across:
A robust clubhook squid, whose mantle reaches 2 m (6.6 ft) in length, caught off Alaska.
A 7-meter-long (23 ft) king of herrings oarfish caught off California
Bathynomus giganteus may reach up to 0.76 metres (2.5 ft) in length:
A huge Colossendeis colossea sea spider:
Food scarcity, lower temperatures, and reduced predation pressures are all considered to be contributing factors to deep-sea gigantism. And let’s add radiation to this small list.
This has nothing to do with Fukushima, most of these pics were taken pre 2011. These critters have always been this big!
