Giant Jellyfish to Invade Japan


JellyfishJapanese 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.
