Japanese fishermen are preparing for the arrival of a swarm of humongous jellyfish. Known as “Nomura’s” jellyfish, these large sea creatures can grow to be 6-feet long and weigh 450 pounds. Ocean currents are carrying them into the Sea of Japan, where the jellyfish tear holes in fishing nets, devastating the local economy.
Similar swarms arrived in Japan in 2005 and 2007. Japan now has a system of warning fishermen about the jellyfish, a method that may cost the seamen a big catch, but one that will save their expensive nets.
Wow. Those are HUGE jellyfish!!
That sounds scary!
Those are cool Jellyfish!
Nippon vs. Jerrifishu
Who will win?
Those must be AMAZING if you catch one!!!
Lion jellies have 100ft long tentacles, but LOTS of Nomuras! Wow. I already thought Japan had a problem with jellyfish getting in their nets!
Yay the rebooting of old monster movies
