Are aliens attacking the Sea of Japan? Not sxactly. But these gigantic blobs are unwelcome visitors from another place. Called Nomura's jellyfish,the wiggly,pinkish giants can weigh up to 450 pounds(204 kilograms),as heavy as a male lion,and they're swarming by the millions.
These sea creatures normally found off the coasts of China and North and South Korea occasionally drift east into the Sea of Japan to feed on tiny organisms called plankton,but now one hundred times the usual number of jellyfish are invading Japanese waters. And local fishermen are feeling as if they are under siege.
The fishermen's nets are getting weighted down,or even broken,by hundreds of jellyfish. The jellies are also poisoning valuable fish in the nets,such as the tuna and salmon that the fishermen rely on to make a living.
No one knows for sure what's causing this jellyfish traffic jam. It's possible that oceans heated by global warming are creating the perfect jellyfish breeding ground. For now,all the fishermen can do is design special nets to try to keep the jellies out. Some of them hope to turn the catastrophe into cash by selling jellyfish snacks.
