Giant Jelly Fish

Giant Jelly Fish
2005.12.12 18:00

Usually in this season of the year -winter, a handful of giant jelly fish are seen on the beach, usually 1 body per 100 metres is found dead and landed on the long (15 km) beach near here. There are many jelly fish at sea that appears after 15th of August every year. We can't enjoy swimming at sea for this reason in the late summer. If we were bit, the ichiness lasts for 7 or 8 years - I am the one who used to be bit by this behemoth, still I feel itchy for the wound I had several years ago, so keep away from contacting this sea animal. There are possibly three ways for utilisation. First one is for food, and the second is its poison -strong alchaloid called tagecine, which might be utilised for medical purposes. The last one would be for energy. Some giant jelly fish are known for generating electricity, the ampare is so small but the bolt is very strong. We might be able to make use of it for energy by collecting these creatures in a pool, etc.

I know you've written before that the "R" sound and the "L" sound in English are easily confused by native Japanese speakers (if I'm saying htat right), and I wanted to let you know that we would write as "Jelly Fish."
I have hear that their stings are extremely painful, but I didn't know that they linger on. DO you ever take pictures of them strewn across the beach?

Thank you very much. I was unable to find any entries of 'jeRRy' fish in Wiki, so I thought they are uncommon in Western world. Seas are connected, who claimed jellyfish is not found at sea in the world except here?
Here is the link [timesonline.co.uk]. While this behemoth was dead on the beach 7 years ago, I investigated fully with all my body (guess?).

that maybe because of glbal warming, this year the jelly fish are so big that they are breaking the nets of japanese fishermen, and ruining their livelihood this way.however, whether these fishermen are actually trying to catch jellyfish (with nets?) or are after other fish i don't know.

Jellyfish is edible, but only a part of it -a part called arms, so in comparison to its huge main body called bell, edible part is just tiny. Mainly because they eat lots of small fish at sea that causes trouble.
