Title:Giant Jellyfish Invasion

Summery: The story talks about how these giant jelly fish attacked the seas of China and Japan.
The people are frightened of them because if they sting you you could die. They weight about 200 Kilograms.They can grow up to 6.5 meters and they grow up to 2 meters wide. These vast type of species are causing the fisherman problems because they are electrocuting the fisherman's net and spreading toxic substances.
Another theory suggests that seas heated by global warming are better suited for breeding, turning the Nomura's otherwise modest numbers into an armada.
These huge creatures can burst through fishing nets, as well as destroy local fisheries with their taste for fish eggs and larvae.

How could this be bad o god for the society? It is really bad because these creatures kill people and demolish the fisherman's net.

What did you learn? I learned that there are bigger and more dangerous jellyfish then I though. First I thought that the biggest jellyfish were 1.5 meters big.

How did you find it? I found it by National Geo. I didn't find anything before. I was looking and looking and then i found it and I thought it was scientific and cool.

  1. This article is kind of scary but the jellyfishe are kind of strong and also dangerous. I would never ever live in Japan or China. It must be bad for the fisherman that they are sending electric shock waves to their nets because then they have no fish to catch and eat.

  2. Nice article, I liked all the descriptive words you used. I would not like to be stung by this giant jellyfish.

  3. Wow! I have never heard of such large jellyfish before! I do believe that global warming is benefiting some species and it looks like the jellyfish are one of them. When I was in Montenegro in August, there were tons because the sea was warm. There were so many, you would not want to have swam in the water.
