Nomura jellyfish are huge creatures which can grow to 6.5 feet (2 meters) wide and weigh up to 450 pounds (220 kilograms). Common in Chinese and Korean waters, their population is on the rise in the fishing waters off Japan causing chaos as they poison fish with their toxic stings. More pictures of these massive jellies here.

What a great picture! Thank you!
My understanding is that jelly fish populations around the globe are booming. Scarily booming. There is nothing in the oceans that eat or even really threaten jelly fish. Yet they kill and consume vast amounts of fish. This is cause for some concern. They are literally becoming rampant in some areas.
There has to be some use for them. I don’t believe anything is put on our planet or evolves on our planet that doesn’t have some use. (even mosquitoes) Is there some way we can power a car with jelly fish? or light office buildings?
