Jellyfish Swarms



Across the Earth's oceans trillions of jellyfish are on the move, building in huge swarms. In Japan, the government and fishermen are fighting back, killing jellyfish by the thousands but more just keep appearing.

Jellyfish are attracted to polluted waters around Tokyo harbour, Sydney Australia, Miami Florida and every coastal city around the world. There the jellyfish can scavenge and feed on large numbers of dead fish and have little or no predators (very few fish eat jellyfish, which are highly toxic). Combined with climate change and warmer waters it has resulted in a sudden spike in jellyfish numbers, literally in the trillions, and it causing havoc with the world's fishing industry.

This photo seems to illustrate one feeding alternative for the jellyfish. (from Omnivore's)

This article is quite pedestrian, but the photos are gorgeous (probably tarted up Photoshopwise, but gorgeous nonetheless).

We overfish, and pollute the seas... and see what happens. SCARY SWARMS OF KILLER JELLYFISH.

Oh fuck off. This has been happening for scores of years (that I know), probably hundreds of years and has nothing to do with global warming. "The government in Japan is killing thousands..." Dude, we used to have jellyfish fights on the beaches in Japan. My friends and I killed hundreds a day (uhm, these were the non-stinging brown jellyfish that swarm the beaches in Japan).

I'm beginning to like my lake a lot more.

Tee hee hee...a bit of a stretch, you think? In the twenty-or-so years I remember of traveling, including a few different beaches, jellyfish have come and gone. Just last year I experienced a "swarm" while diving kind of like I did when I was seven. No, not all is right with the seas, but shut up. Speak for truth and not a god damn agenda.

The great Jellyfish-Human war commences.
