It's my satanist / humanist devotion that has me blindly declaring Chernobyl the worst nuclear accident by far because it killed at least 31 people.
Your saintly / anti-humanist evaluation that since Fukushima killed no people, it's the greater disaster.
Scientists say their most sensitive equipment can just barely register any radioactivity above background from Fukushima. Fishing is permitted except in a 6 mile radius nearest to Fukushima.
The map you incorrectly cite as a radioactivity map is actually the earthquake tsunami height. It's unclear if you meant to deceive us, or were the victim of deception. I always assume ignorance before malevolence when there is a lack of evidence suggesting intention.

However, that chart did not actually track or measure radioactive discharge emanating from Fukushima in 2013, or any other aspect of the Fukushima disaster. It was a plot created by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) immediately after the Tohoku earthquake in March 2011 showing the wave height of the tsunami that followed. It had (and has) nothing to do with the flow or spread of radioactive seepage from Fukushima.

Regarding sea animal die-off, most information on the subject references virus and bacterial causation.
