Jellyfish are causing quite a few problems these days. The gigantic Echizen Kurage (shown above and below) have returned to the Sea of Japan, destroying fishermen's nets and poisoning the fish. The Japanese have responded to the threat by finding ways to turn the beasts into tasty treats, including sushi and cookies. (Mmmm. Jellyfish cookies.) But even if they taste as good as they sound, there are still far too many Echizen Kurage for one small country to gobble down.
In other invertebrate news, billions of tiny jellyfish recently attacked a salmon farm off the coast of Ireland. The swarm of Mauve Stingers covered ten square miles and reached thirty-five feet deep. The poor fish never had a chance. The ocean was so thick with jellyfish that farm's owners were unable reach the salmon's cages. The boats just couldn't push through. Read more here and here.

Wow. I've always liked how pretty jellyfish are, but those big ones are downright ugly. And rather creepy as well.
ReplyDelete*fear*
2nd biggest fear other than leperchans and giant squid? Jellyfish. They've always creeped me out. so I just couldn't read the post. -sobs into hands- By the way, how is your bug doing?
ReplyDeleteAnyone ever been stung by jellyfish and get all itchy? It was weird, it didn't sting. It itched. So not cool!
ReplyDeleteIf I saw that jellyfish I think I'd blackout. Or run screaming off into the night. Or maybe poke it with a stick. A really long stick so I'd be very far away if the worst should happen.
Lena La'Faye: You're scared of leprechauns? Interesting.
ReplyDeleteErin: Yes, feeling much better, thank you!
*scream*

ReplyDeleteIf I ever seen a pack of jellyfish 4sq mi wide i'd leave the fish for bait;)
We have fresh water jellyfish in a lake by my house, luckaly for me they are two small to harm me!
Wow! This is so odd. My mom was telling me about this from a wall street journal article. The dead fish apparently, because of the shock, have there eyes wide open and with a look of terror.
