Usually in this season of the year -winter, a handful of giant jellyfish 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 jellyfish 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 jellyfish 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.--
