Hong Kong has started strengthening radiation inspections of seafood imports from Japan, sources said Saturday, amid concerns in China over a plan to discharge treated radioactive water from the crippled Fukushima nuclear plant into the ocean.

Hong Kong on Friday reiterated its concerns over the water plan. The Japanese government has confirmed that some shipments of Japanese seafood have been held up at China’s customs.
